Default Tuning question

Hey guys, I am being charged 600$ for a uprev tune in socal, or $560 if I bring my friend in with me. Do you guys think this is a fair price, or know of anyone that has a better price in southern california? Thanks!

I would hope if it was Specialty Z, you would be tuning with Ecutek. Seb is an animal with Ecutek.

Update: I just checked their website, ECUtek is 800$ for NA :O is it a huge difference between uprev and ecutek? He charges 600$ with uprev.

Just spoke with specialty Z and the ecutek tune is 850$ for NA. They highly recommended it over uprev due to potentially higher numbers and many more features. Anybody have any input on the ecutek vs uprev topic? thanks! It's a 250$ difference

Ecutek > Uprev

Lots of threads on this, including dyno sheets of guys that made the switch and gained power.
