Thanks Jim, thats correct.
As for the price, depending on your setup it starts at $400 and up for steves fee. Price range can be found at kantuning.com. Dyno time is $300, and Steves flight and accommodation is being split between the people who's car is being tuned. He will be here on Friday and Saturday. He has 8 cars booked so far, spots are limited.

Meh. I wanted to just test the stock throttle body vs the rotary works unit. That is a lot of $$ just to see if one generates a couple more HP.

sorry if i misunderstood, but you're saying that the price is $400 to start + $300 dyno + share of flight & accomodation? so over $700 for tuning???!!!

Total price starts from $400 - Aftermarket Turbo up to 16psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map, up to $600 - Aftermarket Turbo up to 25psi of boost (pump gas and race gas tune) 2 maps. (these prices are from Steve Kans website-kantuning.com.) (take advantage of the currency exchange)

Then there is the dyno time which is $300

Then there is the flight and accommodation which is so far split evenly at $120.
That's a total of $820 on the lower end of the scale.
This may sound like a lot of money guys, but Steve is worth every penny. We spend far more on our engine, I think of it as cheap insurance.
Looking at it from a different point of view, if you were to Dyno at Steve's shop in the states he charges $275/ hour for dyno tuning. 2hrs would run you $550, $825/3hrs

If anyone is serious you can call Sean at Streetpower-905-908-0048 or you can P.M. and I can make the arrangements.

Thanks Gabe for opening up this session for d fourum memebers.
more info as per Steves website
Tuning costs:

$350 - Stock Turbo up to 12psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map
$400 - Aftermarket Turbo up to 16psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map
$450 - Aftermarket Turbo from 16psi - 25psi of boost (race gas and/or auxiliary injection only) 1 map
$600 - Aftermarket Turbo up to 25psi of boost (pump gas and race gas tune) 2 maps

On all tuning sessions there is a Non-refundable $200 deposit.

the above needs to be paid in US dollars

dyno time or useage is $300 for forum guys it is $250
and with the cost of flight and hotel will be split evenly between all car owners that register usually range form $120
i can cater for 3 more cars so you need to decide fast and drop off a deposit to confiirm four spot and time of tune

i am hardly ever on d forum it is best to call d shop and speak to Jay ,Carlos or myself

do you need Steve to tune your car with d rotary works trottlebody ?
and then compare it to your previous dyno
that will not be a very accurate comparision
i would also not install d rotary works tb and just make a dyno pull
so i suggets figure out what you want first before athaching a price

My car is already tuned. I am looking to replace my current turbo setup with a larger one. I am merely curious to know if this throttle body makes a difference ( as do many people on the forum ).

While I am curious it is hardly worth the fortune it will cost.

Price is steep and not keen at all on the venue either - to be diplomatic in every sense... Good luck
