a 1 hour tune is an awefully quick and nasty tune??? i can guarantee you will get what you pay for...
i've heard Jim @ CAS charges around $800 but he does put in the hours. tuning will be the last thing on my performance modification list and it will probably be one of the most expensive item aswell - i don't want to go back for a retune and i want it to be tuned for full throttle low end, mid range & top end and also tuned for half throttle/cruise - i want it to be perfect!!!
remember, any mug can tune top end.
i've had my powerfc tuned twice by C&V, both times after performance upgrades done to the car. I think Con is OK, but needs more practise. he's only spent about 3 hours in total tuning my car and i think it performs like it has had 3 hours tuning done to it.
in summary, my full throttle low and bottom ends are pretty good, mid range in a higher gear with high loads has its problems, im running out of AFM, injector duty cycles can be a little bit random and half throttle i dont think anything has been tuned...!
i get about 400kms to a tank and this is city driving with more than the average spurts -> im happy with this. on highway driving i get about the same? -> i dont like this.
attached is a dyno graph after my last mod, which was boost upped to 1.0bar with c&v tuned PowerFC. mods are not disclosed.
