$500 for base tune. $200 for each additional tune afterwards. At least thats what I paid.

wow you paid alot of money for a dyno tune... i got a buddy of mine does dyno tunes for 200... 100 if you do the tuning yourself... that buys you an hour on the dyno

Xcal2 FTW depending on what mods you have done to your car will depend on the tune..Simple intake, header back exhaust you will see a good improvement with a good tune.
My .02 cents is buy the Xcal2 with a tune from Warmonger..My buddy just actually did this and cant wait.

yes i did, and i can't wait!!!

Do you still need to get your car on a dyno if you buy the Xcal2 or will that allow you to tune it yourself? Sorry if that is a dumb question, but I can't say I know much about tuning...in fact I was just killing time searching through the forums and came across this post which caught my interest.

Well, you get what you pay for I suppose. You have your buddy, I have the guy that created the SCT software.

[JesusFreak]

well if you want to tune it yourself you need the PRP and thats an additional $600 over the Xcal2 if the price hasn't gone up.

once you have a tune you will want to data log, either on a dyno or the road so that the tune can be fine tuned ...
