E Tune vs. Dyno Tune
Hey guys. I have been really modding my car over the last 4-5 weeks since I purchased and am ready for a tune. I have been scouring the forum for some answers but I wanted to ask a few specific questions about the UpRev tune.
I am in Nashville and dont really have any Tuners around me that will do a dyno tune and the one guy I did talk to about it said it would be around 1500.00... that sounded way off from what I have read on here that you guys have paid for yours. So is it worth it to drive the 6 hours to Atlanta for a Dyno tune on a weekend or can I get away with a E-Tune? I have 3 kids and its hard for me to get away. I am about to put on my Motordyne 370 and Berks HFC and know it will need the tune after that.
Any imput on what you guys paid for the dyno tune or if you think I can get away with the Standard Tune and do that on my own and will I get the power from those bolt-ons in addition to my CAI and Exhaust.
Thanks everyone

IMO, I would wait until the Berk HFC and 370 installed, then doing a tune afterward. $ 1500 is way too ripped off. It depends on who you know and how reputable the shops are. Prices may vary 500-800. For now I will just reset the ECU, that way your car will learn to breath with new catback and CAI.

I am thinking of going with the E-Tune but I was hoping for some success or negitive things about this.

If you dont have a good tuner in your area I would suggest a e-tune.
For the best results you should find a local dyno and have your etuner tune while your strapped.
I would also suggest EcuTek !

Find a good UPREV Tuner. At STILLEN we charge $250 for 2 hours worth of dyno tuning (usually more than enough). The UPREV License is about $300 and add $200 if you want your own cable to pull the tune off yourself. Dyno tuning will always get you the best results

It allows you to change one or two different timing strategies, these cars have several including dynamic timing advances.
I've seen too many guys dyno less than stock with a uprev tune.
