WickedWild Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I emailed a local shop that dose dyno tuneing and this was there responce. "Josh, we will need to weld a bung into your exhaust to plug our wide band 02 sensor into. We have a set fee of $450.00 for tuning carb cars, and we can indeed set the lifters for you into this price. You will get quite a few dyno runs, with full print-outs. Thanks for inquiring. Bob" Second question... With me running a true dual exhaust wont they need two O2 sensors? My Eldelbrock carb has adjustments for bouth sides. Here is there site. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 That price is not out of line with current tuning with dyno time and adjustment of your valve train... Sounds like they are charging you for about 4-6 hours worth of labor, and the price is increased due to the word DYNO in tuning... Plus the welded in bungs, which take all of 10 minutes to do, and I'd be happy to do for free, but you are no where near me, so that isn't an option. Pay it. The car will not be the same car that enters the shop... Tuning with a dyno is important, but make sure they do a test drive after the dyno pulls to make sure the part throttle drivability is not an issue as well. Make sure they give you a nice SAFE tune and don't lean the piss out of it to get that last Nth of an ounce of power, while scorching your pistons!

WickedWild Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 I was planning on haveing them tune it in on 92 oct because I run 94 sometimes 93 in it now. I emailed him back stateing that I could put the bungs in if he just lets me know the diameter. I tried bribeing him with bringing in buisness from my home town (40 miles away). But that is a long shot. lol I know the engine is ready to be tuned, the rings and valves have seated. I just have to cough up the $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 You know for $450 you could buy an LM-1 wideband O2 and do it yourself. Of course you wont have a piece of paper that says you X amount of HP and X amount of TQ. I bet just running it on the dyno and not tuning it is much cheaper than a "dyno tune session". Thats the way I would go if I were you. Plus you will be able to make changes later and tune as needed and it wont cost you a thing.
