Default Question about price of tunning

I am going to get my car tune in the coming spring. 2 shops quote me around the same price, which is around $700US.
they said they will do full tunning on the car. (full throttle, half throttle, ignition timing , cam gear timing, fuel pressure.) BTW, i am using Power FC.

Is the price reasonable?, i've never been on to dyno, so i don'w know.

sorry for my bad english
thx for ur time and input.

Hondata tuning around here is 185/hour at a local shop taking usually 2 hours to do full throttle tuning.

Sounds a bit high, maybe tuning in your area is at a premium for some reason? We (Church Automotive Testing) charge $160/hr for 2wd tuning, and it usually takes ~ 2 hours. Is there a third shop in your area?

Power FC might be more detailed or difficult to tune with then Hondata

135-175 is usually about right for tuning a stand alone per hour.
