Pricing

Full Tune

A full tune is for vehicles that have undergone performance upgrades such as; a camshaft swap, long tube headers and exhaust, cold-air intake kit, or any kind of forced induction. This process entails strapping the vehicle down on our 2WD chassis dyno to tune and optimize the performance for that configuration, followed by street driving for a complete and thorough calibration. A dyno graph printout will be provided after the service showing the horsepower and torque values of the final product.

**DISCLAIMER**

Dyno tuning will push the vehicle to its mechanical limits. It is the car owner's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is in proper working order and capable of handling the stresses incurred. Any additional work necessary to bring the vehicle to this condition will be billed at $125/hr+parts. 

Unfortunately at this time, we are not doing tunes for Ford vehicles.

If you are wanting a tune done to your vehicle on the dyno, and your wheels are above average size, bring extra wheels for the tune!!

During the tuning process, an unknown amount of miles will be added to the car. This comes from the car being driven on the dyno, which can add miles quickly. 

Dealership warranties could be voided after your tune is done.

I hereby acknowledge and understand that I am aware of the potential risks involved with dyno tuning and waive any and all claims against Nichols Paint and Fab LLC for any damages to my vehicle as a result. I have also read the Pre-Dyno Tuning Information and acknowledge that my vehicle meets the requirements
