dyno prices

[novellino21]

So i need to get a dyno done on my 3L, i was referred to hitech motorsport in elk river. I emailed them and he said 500 bucks!!! I thought that was a ton of money compared to my friends maxima who got a dyno done for 150-200. Anybody know of a cheaper place that can do 3L's?

DB Performance in Rogers, which is pretty much off hwy 101. They are back behind Cabela's and Graco. They charge $150 and hour for tuning.

i'm not too familiar with dyno's b/c ive never got one be4, but how long does it take to dyno a car?

Depends how close they get it on the first go I don't think it would take more than two hours but I could be wrong... I've been to DB and I like their facility. I've also heard a lot of mustang guys praise Hitech... If you're looking to save some money Tom (Warmonger) on the boards can do mail order tunes for 3L's using an XCal2 or I think he can even do the basic chip tune. Either way no dyno shop around here knows the contour like he does I had him tune my car because I wanted the best.

How does that work? Doesn't even make sence to me. Would i have to pull the comp. chip out of my car?

No definitely not... The Xcal2 flashes a program to your ecu with the tune and stores your stock tune. It can have up to three different tunes as well as the stock tune at a time. It allows you to tweak little things like rev limiters, tire size, etc. I like the way mine works, you can also hook up a laptop to your ecu and monitor different sensors of all sorts of things. Also scans codes too. SCT Home Page

And the Xcal2 info is on this page XCal 2

If you have a stock 3L maybe you can buy the chip+Tune from Hightech without dyno time.

All of our cars were Very Similar...
What your paying for is not only their dyno time, but the chip it self.

Chip i believe was 180 + Dyno time.

so you get a chip and then they dyno the car then they program the chip?

No he's saying 180 for just the chip... If you wanted a dyno tune on your chip as they had before I think they said 500 bucks for that.
