yeah, been there already. 60 an hour. wasn't too impressed with the way shad handled my business. when i first got my car, i asked him to do a full check up(lemon check plus suspension). all he said was that i need new wheel bearings and lower ball joints. i ended up needing inner tie rod ends, rear motor mount, Lower ball joints, wheel bearings, o2 sensor. bumper support, ecu needed rewiring, vtec needed to be rewired, and a couple thinks i cant think of right now. anyways, if he would tune it and everything, would it still be 60 an hour??? it would only take about an hour, right??? andy imput is appreciated. and what about ruben??? who has worked with him???

Any shop that knows what they are doing and has a dyno setup is gonna be 50-70 an hour. ABACUS has a very good rep. No disrespect but it sounds like your car was a POS when you got it. That is a lot of work.

What controllers or engine management do you have to tune with? If none, it is pointless to tune.
As for not being impressed with Shad, I think you may have been mistaken. He is very knowledgeable and is good at what he does.
