How did you pay for your Power FC tunning?

I have called a few shops to get a quote on how much it would cost to tune my PFC.

I got quote from 125-250 per hour. Some included dyno and some not.

How much did you pay to get your PFC tuned?

if you do it on the mustang dyno like youre supposed to double that cost


Just like with anything else you've got 2 options...

1) do it yourself and pay less.
2) pay someone else to do it and get charged twice as much.

If you dont have a friend that can do it for you or do it yourself then you will have to pay

I paid for my dyno time with cash. I dont think they accept beer or dinner as payment lol

Most shops only take cash. Maybe some would take credit card but usually when they have to tune your car they rather have cash so they can pay the tuner right away, or they take cash so they do not report it to a uncle named Sam

How hard is it to learn how to tune it yourself? Are there any guides on the net?
