Default Tune Up

What is an average cost of a tune up? Also what exactly does a tune up entail? Plugs and wires or is there more?

Not sure about the L98, but on LT1 and up, usually just plugs (although wires should be done), most of the cost is labor because getting to some of the plugs on an LT1 is a bitch!
