Default Tuning

I went to a local speed shop today and to see if they could tell me who manufactured my intake and he prity much corroborated what others have hinted at that it is a rare GM crosscam intake from a 69 Camaro and that to the right people it is worth a small fortune.But he also thinks Im missing the upper half of this two pice intake. :confused:
On to my question
I asked him how much it would cost to professionaly tune my engine meaning my duel carbs,ignition ,and timing.he gave me an estimate of $150 does this sound right?

Wightnite - is this the manifold you have? :cool:
I think your quote of $150 sounds great. I'm looking for someone in Akron to do the same for me, and I was hoping to pay that price for a single carb set-up.
