How much? PM me where you got it done too! Might be worth a road trip....

It's the same reason people buy intakes. Hell you'll be lucky if they add 3-4hp for short rams, but yet people pay $300-$500 of them. Why?
It's all about the sound for me!

And exhausts...you'll be lucky if you get 5-10hp from them, but yet people are paying $1k - $2500 for them. Why?
Sound rules again. Performance is noticeable, but the sound is what sold me.

So for the 10-15whp we gain from an uprev tune, I think even the retail price of $500 is quite worth it.

And the bottom line is, because $500 can be a lot of money or chump change for different folks. It's what's worth it to THEM that matters.
And for the peace of mind knowing that you are not damaging your engine by having changed the entire breathing apparatus of your car!
