for a estimate id say about 200ish. cause if buying the laptop software like hptuners and them is around 500-600 and so.. to rent and tune, your just paying for a tune not the rent of the device, it would have to be around 200ish..

i wouldnt understand why it would be higher than 250 or so as your just paying for a tune.

for software like hptuners, i would guess 500-600 if he ever Decides to do it..

200ish is the best estimate i can give you as I myself dont even have a clue of what the pricing is, but i can guess around 200 which should be a safe bet.. damn do i repeat myself a lot in this post lol

why say that.. when i last talked to vince he said people werent paying to rent the tuner, were paying for the tune, thats been confirmed a few times..

i said 200ish, that is a ball park under 300.. could be 220, 250,270 for the matter.. i will find out when i call him around 3 because it will be about 12pm there


EDIT:



UPDATE FROM Vince:

He should be able to:

SAI secondary air injection :delete:
Shift light adjustable
Redline being to wair you want it..

Also he can tune for 60lb injectors..

We also talked about price, he asked me what i deem as fair.. i said 200ish but under 300 at most, which he said was fair..

He can tune for turbos and stuff what would happen is when you go to dyno shop the dyno guy and him would talk online and over phone and transfer dyno sheets and stuff for tuning over email and do it remote so that way he could transfer tunes to the car..

He was talking about selling the obd-2 cable and transfer problem for laptop users and he could send u a emal and could transfer tunes that way and pay maybe 50 a tune after the first one..

I asked him what if we tune and sent the tuner back and problems happened.. he said hed take care of us.. He said if it was a problem that you wanted something adjusted more or so it would be about 50 dollars per tune down the road.. say you add a turbo or so down the road after the first tune.. it would be like 50 dollars not bad huh?

For now its just paying for a tune.. the gt tuner just holds the tune thats all..

Tom he wants to talk to you about dynoing this week.. once its all done and if it works perfect, he is sending me mine, so get to that dyno this week!!

He got ahold of all the stuff in the ecm, he said its just all tables, and he can change basically anything.

The auto actually can hold much more than the manual. Somewhere around 325 lb/ft if I remember correctly.

he can make it so that it is not neccasary a few ways, he can make it so that under certain conditions it is a harder shift, he can also make it always, buttttt you can switch it at will with your B&M


and as for the mani...i will get one anyway...
