Sounds like you need to find a new tuner. I could understand if this was a friend that had to buy tuning software and then rent a dyno somewhere, but no shop should charge like this.

Even if he has to pay vehicle licenses 1 by 1 they are 100, and most dyno tuners won't charge you by the hour if you are paying for a dyno tune.

I paid $200 for this tune at a local shop, and I'm very happy with it, driven it about a year now.

About $ 700 here in NY...If the shop has the tuner. Some shops don't have one and they send it out. That's why it's more.

$500 is usually the going rate for LS cars.

Prices must have really gone up in the last 2 years ...

Exactly 2 years ago, I had a set of Pfadt long tube stainless headers with cats and x-pipe installed on my 2011 GS here in Florida.

The headers, cats and x-pipe cost: $1,890

The installation and dyno tune cost: $453

Total out the door price was: $2,343
