Default Dyno-tuned by VetteDoctors

Just got a regular tune up and also got a dyno-tune from VetteDoctors in Amytiville. 30 RWHP gain as well as a gain of 14 lbs of torque. Rev limiter now set to 6400 RPM. And the car runs so much better. What a great job!

Plus, they even straightened out my uneven Borla Stingers at no extra cost. Thanks Dennis and Carmen.

for the VetteDoctors!

That's terrific. Figure 30 rwhp is equivalent to $2,000 - $3,000 in parts - whether that be heads or cam or long tube headers. I assume your dyno tune was somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 - 600. Not a bad return on investment at all.

Cheers,

Mark

Last time I only paid $300, I'm not sure if it's this price anymore though.

I paid $200 for tune up (AC Delco parts) and $300 for the dyno-tune. Does that sound about right? Regardless, I am extremely happy.

$300 for a dyno tune sounds very reasonable. I paid north of $500.
