PRE Tuning.

[NickFRS]

PRE charges $400 for an open source tune. If we get enough people I'm sure that the price wont be that much... Also any tune after the first tune is $200 for an open source. This would be a car Spec tune. Prob 15-40 runs on the dyno to get everything looking good. Tech you are supposed to tune for most things you put on a car.... The Subaru world I come from involves turbos so tuning is needed more then anything. But I personally would never run an AM intake on a car w.o a tune. Or even headers. Perrin is close but i've had no exp with them as tuners. I have buddies who work there and take their cars to PRE. Also usually it takes 1-4 hours for a PRE custom tune. (and they can tune slammed cars) If drift office was closer I would deff go up there. But thats a drive for me. I hear good things though!!!

I have a Perrin tune as well. for the price, I'm unsure if I can say how much I paid for it. It was for sure the best money I've spent on the car.

I like the sound of custom tunes. But that's just me.

Stop right there... What open source software do they plan on using???

As far as I know... no such thing exists.

So unless they're using something everyone on this forum seems to be unaware of, maybe you're mistaken and didn't mean "open source" but more of "ecutek" tuning?

Don't buy the warranty ! And enjoy more hp

I believe what he meant was that when they tune other models of vehicles for which opensource tuning software is available, they charge $400.00 for just the tuning itself.

Ah, noted

Talked to bobby today. If 5 people including me put down a 100 buck deposit they will get everything we need and charge 400 bucks for a custom tune using ECU TEK and PRE will pick up all other expenses. So who really wants to do this? I was using open source as an example by the way.

So $400 includes licenses and a custom tune? If so that's a hell of a deal.

What would it cost for a re-tune once mods are added? (Since I know someone will ask and I'm sure many are in the same situation as me where they've bought a few mods but plan on more mods that are likely more impactful)

I think if I read correctly. Earlier it said 200. Which sounds kinda steep in my opinion.

[NickFRS]

Yes 200 bucks. Just do your car right the first time. I'm getting tune after intake crank pulley and full exhaust and calling it good for quite some time.

more options is always better IMO

I'm lost still... So 400 for tune + license?
Or $400 for tune + $200 for license?

Sorry for not getting it here

"PRE will pick up all other expenses" $400 $200. Please follow. PRE will custom tune your car. First tune is $400. Every tune after that is $200. Buy all your stuff. Install it. And only pay the $400. Thats the same price as Perrin. Idk where you are lost.


Back on topic. Who would put down a $100 deposit? We need 5. And you can have a custom tune for you spec own car.

Also PRE charges 85 bucks n hour and will gladly install any parts or custom turbo or super charger kits you want to do.
