I want to get my car tuned, running UTEC stage 2, and I was thinking of going to Pruven Peformance in Milford, CT. (I live in CT) I was wondering if anyone had went there recently for a tune, and if so, how much did it cost. Because I got a quote for $400-$500. Seemed a little high to me. And now XX Tuning in Hartford,CT doesnt tune the UTEC anymore, but they used to tune the UTEC for only $250-$300. Any help would be appreciated.

if you fancy a bit of a drive i know that F1 dyno in portland maine does a real good job on the utec they did mine a while back and i got some pretty good hp gains

$400-$500 for a dyno + road tune is about right. that's what most tuners charge from what i've seen. might want to ask them if it's a dyno and road tune, how many maps will they give you, etc.

Im getting a $360 coute for Two hours of Dyno tune. You guys don't think tha's eXP*^%%?

it depends on how much the shop/dyno operator/tuner knows their isht.

top speed in georgia told me they charge 140$ per UTEC map. which is the only reasonable price ive ever seen

We (TurboXS) charge $450 for 5 maps. This includes dyno time and road tune time (however long that takes).

I just wanted one map. My shop said that it will take around 5 hours ( charge 2).

Go to ics in ct. I live about 10 miles from them, awsome service and junior is a utec guru. The owner george is a great guy and takes care of his customers good. Junior works magic with that thing. I might be wrong but about 1 month ago he tuned the fastest stock turbo wrx that ran a 12.5 with meth. Thats where i am going for my utec and tune.

fwiw, although i've never met him, i've never heard anything but good stuff about junior.

Charging per map seems a bit silly. Once you have one map, you can modify it to create bad gas map, low boost map, etc. Creating one first good map is the hard part. Especially on a UTEC, none of the global parameters are changed per map.

if the map is for a drastic change in fuel composition, it would require a lot of re-working.

ie, c16 map doesn't really have much in similar to 93 octane map... unfortunately you can't just add 4* advance and pull -4% fuel across the matrixes (matrices?).
