i might take it back to ed. but he may be cut he didnt get that extra $150 from me for sending it to microtech. i payed $150 to get it unlocked and he was going to charge me $300 to send it. he also couldnt tell me if the tune would still be there. so there was another possible $1000 for a full tune. spotted my wheels arriving today. fitted them to CT87VL for the time being... probably wont fit on PNK747 lol. springs in tomorrow. brakes on friday. still need a silver front bar and support. i can get a new one but itll need spraying which im trying to avoid.

If you pay $1000 for a microtech tune your getting reamed hard.

4 or 5 hrs at most. Then possibly some cold start stuff the next morning. If the tuner is any good.

i know they charge $120-130/hr. never heard anything bad about his tuning thats why ive been there. he knows his ****. the only thing is the price. but you pay for quality...

Yes you do pay for quality. The most important thing is that your confident in your tuner. Alot of it comes down to how much importance you put in part throttle tuning etc etc. The driveabilty of the car basically thats what takes the time. Any numnut with half a brain can do a WOT tune.
