To be honest I don't know. I have a 2 page invoice. Just give them a call. Tunes run about $100+.

I've got an Uprev reflash on my G....I know Jtran does it for like $500 on the dyno...and i have ztube, stillen airbox, JWT intake cone, megan resonated TP's, true dual Invidia CBE, sexec ground wire kit, Kinetix V+ (on sale now), and i made 253 whp on a 5AT...i had 30+ hp gain afta the initial base run..well worth it and sometimes better fuel economy too..Haltech is tricky but definitely the best since it does everything..but for NA, u wanna just go do the Uprev tune...it's also good for boost too....Haltech is for the BIG boys

Bikini contests @ car shows are always over hyped... it's what draws the crowd.

BTW, all of us down in the Clear Lake Crew will vouch for him taking care of us...he IS one of our crew.
