Cost me $250 last year to get my car dyno tuned and the rates haven't changed. Also, when it comes to estimates, Scott was within 10% of sit down quote to final delivery of everything I wanted with my build. Mazsport has never ceased to impress me in everything they do, and I am a very picky individual when it comes to my baby.

But back to your original post, congrats on getting your baby back. I know what it is like to have some down time, and it is always worth it in the end.

Eric, please review your invoice and if you have any questions regarding billing, Mazsport would appreciate you calling us.

So, here is the way we bill:

1-2 hrs street tuning at $100/hr
dyno tuning is $250/hr

Every car is unique and will require different time on the dyno. The more street tuning you do the less time is needed on the dyno. When Scott tuned my NA RX8 2.5 yrs ago I paid $530 for street and dyno tune.

How do you like your 7 now that it is back.

Ahhh, I see now in regards to the tuning. Dyno tuning and street tuning are indeed very different. While my dyno tune was very straight forward, there were many hours of street tuning involved prior to rolling up onto the dyno. If you have a good street tune, the dyno shouldn't be $600. As soon as you are able to afford it though, strap it on the dyno. Not for the numbers, but for the tune.

I didn't mean for that to come out as me complaining. Ill check my invoice to see if street tuning and dyno tuning was on that bill.

Besides the small power problem im having (my batter is too small) the car runs amazing im really happy to have it back.

When I had my turbo 2 dynoed with Scott, I was charged $600 for 1 hour of street and 2 hour of dyno. But Scott was very nice. After the dyno run we went for some more street tunning for free. He was having a problem doing a proper transition of my secondaries. He was unable to get it right. Their is another option I found later in the program that you have to change if you have extremely large secondaries. This was on a LT8x
