    Sounds pretty steep, but they could well have had all sorts of trouble getting it installed and working at all. I tend to find tuning is always more expensive than you expect due to little issues that they have to spend time fixing before really getting stuck into dyno work.

    Having a good long chat to them about what you're after and what they'll do often helps, but it may be a little late for that here. I hope it ends up being a good tune.

    I paid $500 to get a tune for a smallport with quads with an adaptronic.
    It was all wired in and you could start and drive the car just ran like shit.
    So yeah $500 for just the tune. Though he did have to feck around a little fixing my ignitor and taking the trumpets off!
