I emailed Sutton High performance to see what a custom tune with the xcal 2 would run me and they said it would be $299 for the first 2 hours tuning on the dyno and it shouldn't take more then 2 hours. Does this sound about right or too steep? I want to get it done here as it's only 15 miles from me and they have a great rep.

 

i just paid $550, 3 baseline dyno pulls, intake install, SCT Tune (not 2) and over the course of about 3 1/2 hours---so that sounds fairly reasonable---i needed to get a baseline, as well, wanted to gauge gains in performance----

 

Does that include the SCTX2, or is that extra?

 

Sounds about right. Dyno time is not cheap. Figure about 75.00 to 100.00 an hour plus the tune. Make sure you get the tune on a XTR file.

 

Thanks. I guess $299 isn't too bad then. I definitely want to get the tune on a XTR file, something I forgot to ask if they do.

JeffreyDJ, the xcal2 costs $369 extra so it will cost $668 total to get my car tuned. ouch!

 

For that much, make sure they're going to monitor your air/fuel ratio.

 

Mine ended up right around $500 total, so I guess its not completely out of line.

 

The local SCT tuner here sells SCT2 tuners with 3 custom dynoed programs for $450 I believe

 

I should mention my $479 included 1hr on a dyno.

 

Also, this is Sutton ... they do have a name and the ability to charge for it too remember, cheap tuner may = a cheap tune.

Oh, sound about right to me too .

Yeah they were, after all, the first to break into the 9's with the 05 I think. I'm willing to pay a bit more to get tuned by the best.
