I dont own any tuning equipment like Osiris...I just want to bring the car to a shop and have them dyno tune, no interest in being able to change tunes myself....is it possible to get this done for $400 or less.

It seems most places want you to buy the cable for $500, then a shop will charge you to dyno then flash the ECU...maybe im not understanding how it all works but $400 is my spending limit for this or if there are any other options, also any dyno shops near South Chicago burbs.

Thanks,

Most places charge $500. You don't get the cable for that price though IIRC.

 

Its actually more, the cheapest I've seen (not counting specials and group buys) is around $550, most are in the $600 range tho. That's just for the flash and tune, no cable

 

if you were only close to va

 

Oh okay. well the two z/g specialty shops in NC that are close to me, (CIN & SOHO) charge $500.

 

Probably because they have competition within driving distance.. most people aren't that lucky!

 

ok, thanks for your input...I'll see if I can come up with $5-600 and hope the wife doesnt have a heart attack when she learns I spent it to try and gain 11 rwhp. :-)

 

Why not just do it with the cable and etuning?

 

+1, $550 was the cheapest in CA for just a reflash and tune. No cable...

 

and what cable is that? the $500 Osiris one? ...lets just say even spending $400 for a remap has the potental to put me in hot water so I must tread carefully.

 

yeah that one, you can always resell it used for 400 if you part out

 

honestly, retuning simple bolt ons is not worth the money.

on the streets, 11whp gain is not even noticeable. less than the difference of adding a passenger.
