Default Money Question, need opinions

Listen we have a TPIS here in San Antonio.. I called them today and asked about burning a custom chip, doing a dyno tune and cleaning and blueprinting my injectors. The guy told me it would run about $550.00 for the whole deal and I would have my car back in the same day...... What do you guys think? I dont think it is that bad of a deal, do you? I guess that is about the norm on the price, huh? :cheers:

I'm no expert on this but I don't think a custom chip will do you much good on an unmodified car unless you haven't posted your mods in your signature. Most gasoline brands have been using injector cleaners as an additive for a long time now so I doubt if your injector really need a cleaning. If it was me (I have a 90 also) I'd spend the money on a good set of headers. You'll get more bang for your buck that way.
