That doesn't seem to bad at all. As for a tuner, you will have to ask them if they can tune for SCT, or if they are still a diablosport only dealer (which they were like 4 years ago the one time I visited the shop).

Any retunes you will need for future mods will cost you though, and those are typically based on the shop rate for hourly work, and however long it takes to do the retune. Make sure to clarify that.

yeah I noted that I was about to buy an SCT and he didn't mention it being a problem. he also said that in the future if I get new mods it would be like $100 to retune

Sounds like a decent option to me. Curious to know how they do with your tunes.

I know that Truestreet charges $400 for the initial dyno tune, and then it's shop rate ($80/hr) after that for any retuning.

My tune with HPP was $400 for a lifetime tune, which means the tuning only cost me dyno time from this point out. I already had an unlocked SCT from Maggie though.
