How much $$ for a dyno tune?

Do you have a tuner or not?
nope
I believe the going rate for tuning is 400 bucks.

if your rolling in stock trim, i would wait until you get some intake/exhaust mods for your self, he can adjust the air/fuel ratio based on the mods, if you get a tune just the way it is, you may need it retuned so you can correct the air/fuel ratio, but it is worth the extra doh for a custom dyno tune....
I'm pretty happy with it in stock trim and don't have any plans to modify the power train for a while, if ever. I am going to upgrade the clutch & shifter soon, but that's about it.
There's something to be said for leaving well enough alone.
The Mach 1 is a great car out of the box. It's not like it's a stock GT or something begging for more power...
I've been down the 'start modifying things & open a can of worms' trail before, so I know how that works.
That being said, I want to make it as strong, healthy & reliable as possible in stock form. And it seems like a good dyno tune would help accomplish that without spending more $$ on a bunch of bolt-ons.
I'm still open to opinions though...

Since you put it that way yes a tune will kick ass for your car, well worth the expence....
If you get a tuner it will have a small tune for being stock and will be a nice upgrade... You can always save the tuner for later when the modding begins...:rock:

i vote INTAKE/ EXHAUST/ GEARS/ TUNE. thats still reliable for daily driving, and you will see a huge improvement over a stock mach1

id say get an SCT xcal 2 programer, itll come with a box tune. Then get exhaust, gears, intake, then get a custome dyno tune. Youll be amazed with the results.

it'll be no where nead stock then. That new 5.0 motor seems bad arse. But id rather have a modded mach 1, Maybe even one supercharged before id want that. If they come out with a 2011 or 2012 grabber blue mach 1. That might change my mind. Id just buy that car.

Newbie here. My Mach 1 has K&N FIPK2 and MagnaFlow Magna Pack exhaust, would a good tune help? Still running the stock settings. Thanks, Josh
