What is the going rate for a FI tune. Is one type of piggyback more expensive than another to tune?

What's everyone paying?

From your Cardomain page it looks like you have yours tuned pretty good . What did it cost you to tune your Utech ? Im planning on going to the Utech this spring . THX Bill

 

It can really vary. Yes, some EMS's are more expensive to tune than others, but if you are talking a utec, unichip, or EU, I would think 300-600bucks would a decent ballpark figure depending on your setup. Shop rates vary on tuning, so that can also influence your final cost. Tuan at GRD tuned my car in about 2.5 hrs for a reference

 

You in FL no? You should contact westpak and have Japtrix tune it. I'm having them installing my APS TT with tune.

 

150 a hour rate! Utec tune... 300 for one map
and then 150 for aditional.

 

UTEC tuning prices I got:

Altered Atmosphere: $585
Sharif $660

What is JapTrix charging?

this is not an area you should price shop....instead, go with whomever you feel most comfortable with

 

Does that include tuning for all 5 maps? What all is included in the tune?

 

This is the best advise I have seen yet.

 

...and I should add, who's results and methods you trust the most

A cheap tune is not bad and an expensive tune is not good....the right tune is the best buy any day of the week.

 

We are at $125 an hour..Usually takes about 3-5 hours to dial in a F/I car..

 

Most likely looking at 400-500 dollars

 

I couldnt agree more. And make sure the shop road tunes extensively, after dyno tuning. Some shops use interial dynos, vs. load based, and depending on their level of exeperience, prices are going to vary. Some shops charge hourly, and some charge a flat rate. We do flat rate pricing: $350 for eManage Blue or Split Second, $600 for EU, and $660 for UTEC.
