depends if its a flash, road tune, dyno tune, etc. first time base tune on a dyno is usually ~$400

you'll probably have better luck finding a local tuner in the regional forums.

Well, that a ways, you can drive out to Mellon in St. Luis. or of course to Chicago which is a mecca of Evo tuners and everyone has a preference. Don't know anyone up the way that far that works on them and tunes them. Sorry bud.

MAP is in Plymouth MN and they do tuning. I've never heard much about their tuning services good or bad but they make a lot of very nice parts so I'm guessing they know what they're doing. Here's their website:

Oh look at that, Memphis, had no idea. Yeah, it'll be a pleasure to meet you face to face at the bash this year, we'll be down there as well. No problem with the name drop, I thought you might be closer than the few others I know doing GOOD tuning .
