Sounds like you have the same mods as myself. Halltech Stinger, Ghl bullets, and Lg headers. That's the same price I paid for a tune. If it was a H/C it would have been 500. He also lowered my fan temps (I got a lower thermostat) changed torque management, deleted cags in case the resistor quite working and I'm not sure what else. I ended up with a AFR of 12.8 at WOT. With my 4:10 gears I ended up with 339 hp and 350 tq. I want to do a H/C sometime, but not knowing how long it would be I wanted the car to run as good as possible with the mods I had. I thought it was worth it to do it, I think you will to.

Be sure and check that your motor mount bolts are tight when they finish and check to make sure your center section exhaust hangers are not too close together and making noise when you drive down the road.
Please don't ask why I say this.

I told her but didnt give details of the cost . She wanted to hear it ,so I started it and she said she couldnt hear that much difference.Then we went to the store in it ,she loved it and said she wanted to take it to work today ! 2 blocks from the house a honda with fart pipe revs at me .Ha ha . Any way it ended up right at 345 HP ,forgot the torque, great throtle response now and I absolutely love the sound and feel .I think the Z06 sway bars is next. The tune ended up 350 ,so I fell great about the deal they gave me ,plus great service. I have a feeling I will be back MTI gave me great service ,

$400 for a tune is about right - usually varies from $350 to $500

But get a tune when you make a major change, like heads/cam. Tune with just intake & headers is a waste of money (IMHO)
