Uprev - How much did you pay?

Hey guys,

I just purchased some Berk HFC, FI CF exhaust and am looking into Stillen Gen 3. I know I will need an Uprev tune after this to correct A/F ratios etc. and am looking to find out how much its going to run me. How much have you guys paid? Also has anyone had it done in the Maryland area?


Thanks

Hey have you gone to SpecialtyZ yet to get yours done?

I'd say your looking at about $500ish for an UPREV tune, but honestly it's worth every penny to get the car running right after adding bolt ons.

Hill's Garage tunes using Uprev and he charges $650 plus tax. That's $300 for the license plus $350 for the tune. Frank the tuner has been doing what he does best for over 20 years and knows his chit. There's other places around town (I won't mention any names) that charge $800 for a crap tune and won't even give you the time of day. Hill's tune is guaranteed.

That where I got my car tuned for WOT and driveability. I couldn't be happier.

anywhere you go you are probably looking at $500-$800 (I know that's a big range but I've seen all kinds of different prices)

But the thing to keep in mind is that what you are really paying for is the tuner himself. The tuner makes all the difference in the world. If they actually know what they are doing they can make amazing gains on your car. If they don't know what they are doing they might only get 1-2 WHP and even can screw something up.

Tuning is an incredible skill and takes a lot of experience to really get the fine touches down. Before you actually do it I would go to different places and watch them tune a couple Nissan/Infiniti's and see how they do

Yea that's a good price. Seb will take care of your car for sure.

He just told me he started a GTM TT build on a 370Z, so I'm gonna swing by and check it out tomorrow. Yep... A reputable shop and tuner that's been working on nissans and infinitis for a long time makes all the difference.

They have a portable dyno where the tuner comes in about once every week or so. It's a Dynojet so it reads higher then your average Mustang or Dyno Dynamics.

Beautiful point, I couldn't have said it better. You get what you pay for... that's always been my motto.

Hills garage quoted 650. There tuner has 20 years experience and they have a good rep. Think I found my place although i will not be getting my exhaust and HFC there seemed way to expensive compared to Elite.
