Does that include dyno tuning?

I assume this is the full kit? If so, that's a good price. I'm sure that doesn't include tuning.

There's no way that can include tuning. But if it is the full kit with the 3.33 pulley, it doesn't actually require a tune. It's tuned out of the box.

Its tuned for safety out of the box, not for power.

Exactly, it's tuned pig rich for safety which he may be fine with if he is looking to minimize cost.

Good price. Tuning should be anywhere from $200-$500, but get someone who is experienced. I got mine done for $200 with the Stock Pulley. I think Church's is the closest dyno tuner to Northridge.

I am having the shop installing the kit weld a bung for the 02 sensor so I can get a more accurate tunning prior to the catalyic converters. where is Churches located and are they capable installing the 3.12 pulley and tunning the car.
