I am having my car tuned at Abacus Racing in VA and was quoted $185 an hour for tuning Hondata. Does that sound right? Thanks

 

thats a little more than i paid to tune my car. usual going rate ive seen for tuning hondata is 150/hour.

Balanced Performance quoted me $150/hr for dyno tuning also.

 

InlinePRO quoted me $195 per session, and stated that Hondata tuning sometimes requires 2 sessions.

 

I wouldn't mind making $3 per MINUTE
Crazy ****.

Its a little higher but deffinatly not out of line, especially if you think they have the best ability to do the job. Really what is $35 out of your whole build?

 

alamo motorsports quoted me 150 hr

 

a lot of the shops in the nyc area charge flat rate of like 350-500 for tuning hondata

 

I got quoted 200 for a chipped ecu, as many dyno pulls i want and a free case of beer

 

Boosted-Hybrid charges a flat rate in case any probs arise i guess. i rather go with a flat rate so i know how empty my pockets will be at the end of the day

 

gotta love diy.. uberdata

 

yeh shad at Abacus Racing prices went up so dont let him run you up by really really taking his time and take 3 hours and it may only take 2 , but thats who tuned my car and a few other cars a bulit he good guy and a good tuner

 

thats why i dont like hourly if they are slow you pay for it.

 

around here dyno tuning goes for 125/hr


and yes Dewmota... diy is best

 

dyno watching is fun and boring....
fun your car is getting dynoed....boring you have to wait...

 

church automotive was 150 an hour and he was pretty quick

 

The place I am planning on going (torquefreaks) is $120/hr. The rate isn't horrible but I keep hearing that I should expect to pay around 8 hours for turbo h22 + aem.

$960 = holy ****.

That seems a little unreasonable!

 

Yea, but they seem to be regarded as AEM gods and stuff. Check out the AEM forums there is nothing but praise.

Still though, it is kind of scary going in to something like that with just an hourly rate...who knows what the total might be.

 

Secret Services used to charge a flat rate. I personally like this better unless your coming back for a re-tune after a few changes.

From experience, we all know that they don't just work straight on your car while your at a dyno shop, ****, If I had to pay hourly for my tune, I would still be paying for it today, my car sat on SS dyno for almost 10 hours while they answered phone, got lunch, worked on someone else car for a while, watched tv, etc.......then eventually got back to my car.

Holy Chit that's over priced....


even the most radical setup should be under the 4-5 hour window with an EMS.

 

Turbo Tune in Greensboro NC charges 100/hr for tuning and does a good job

 

Passen Motorsports in Columbus, OH charged $100/hr to tune my EMS. Got a good tune and the guys there were cool. Car runs 2000000% better then my "tuning".

 

How much does Boosted-Hybrid charge for hondata tuning?

 

That seems to be about the average these days. Flat rate! Those are the best!

Mase tuned here!
