Elevated tuning is a traveling road tuning service provided by myself. Although my name isn't official right now Im reserving the right of using the name until so.

After a lot of thought and past experience I have put together a list of final pricing on tunes, effective immediately.

Open source tuning(stock ecu)
Evo VII-X:
First map starts @ 175.00
Additional map for e85 or race gas 150.00
Non-stock injectors add $50.00 total

So for ex. if you have aftermarket injectors and want a 91 and e85 map total will be 375.00

Subaru WRX/STI/LGT 02-09:
First map starts @ 175.00
Additional map for e85 or race gas 150.00
Injectors add $50 and/or Non-compatible intakes $25

Now you may ask why would my intake not be compatible? Subaru's MAF are very sensitive to air changes which can be cause my altering the intake system IE changing filters, enlarging MAF diameter, or adding different intake pipe. This will affect the way fuel is calculated causing leaner or richer idle, cruising, or WOT AF/R's. The reason I charge more is because anything that changes this needs to be re-tuned properly in order to insure a good driveability.

List of compatible intakes:
SPT
Cobb
APS 65MM
K&N typhoon
Perrin SRI
All drop in filters and some cone filters

Injectors also require fine tuning so that fueling remains in check and the proper amount of fuel is applied at any given time.

Cobb Accessport
(Subaru, Mitsubishi, all others)
1st map $150
Additional maps$125
Injectors and/or MAF changes $25 each

AEM EMS
All vehicles
$500 for first map
$150 for additional

All these prices are per road tuning which guarantee the best possible end results IMO. While a dyno is nice and keeps thing safer Im not in a position to buy one. If you wish to dyno tune I can adjust prices accordingly. I will be conducting annual dyno days for my customers so anyone who wishes to have a dyno graph can do so for a small fee.

In the event of a problem that requires more of my time you will be charged by a per hourly rate of $25hr.

Here are my conditions prior to tuning that have no exceptions:
Must provide proof of insurance and current registration.
Must have current drivers license
Must sign liability waiver

Im willing to drive to people but will charge a travel fee to cover my expenses. All costs will be determined individually.

If you have any questions or are looking for a tune feel free to contact me.

What makes you so qualified as a tuner?
Have you had any "professional tuners" at shops look over your maps and agree that they are just?

Why are your prices so high?
I feel that this is the price many legit tuning shops would charge when they have a dyno and all the equipment that gives you solid numbers rather than some guesstimate.

It just seems to me that you are some guy with a laptop who is turning up the boost on peoples cars and making them think you're awesome.

not trying to be a dick but in his defense we spent alot of time on my car and i know of a couple of other peoples car to make sure everything is correct. we had to go thru the whole 9 yards to properly tune my WRX. adjust wastegate duty cycles, fuel trims, timing, boost, boost parameters, injector duty cycles, even a patch for launch control. and anything else that is required to properly tune (im not a tuner myself so there is probably more) . will has had my WRX tuned for almost a year now and ive had no problems what so ever. and he showed me everything he was doing on the laptop as we were tuning. im honestly impressed. we didnt get it done in just one day. im telling you will is thorough. and as far as prices go i believe them to be fare. ive had people tell me double that for what they got done on a dyno at legit shops in denver. (by the way will, is my launch control fuel or ignition cut? i cant remember.) maybe you should see for yourself what will can do for your EVO. work out a deal or something just so you can get 1st hand experience. but its good to know what you're getting is a legit tune and not just cranking up the boost. if i wanted that i'd just go buy a MBC and then wind up messing up my car lol.

He's cheap IMO...I charge $150/hr from the time the car pulls in the shop on the dyno.
That said, Open Source stuff seems to take longer than some standalone stuff and the learning feedback you get from today's modern & powerful ecus like those in the 32 bit Subies etc, they are practically a self contained dyno with the right software and logging.


PS: I would say at least 50% of pro "tuners" would look at anyone's map and say it isn't acceptable simply because they didn't write it; many "tuners" are so egotistical they cannot accept a map that they did not write.


Cliffnotes: If his mapping is safe & conservative and the customer is happy with how the car performs, what's there to criticize?

Nothing, but what makes any other shop either??? I've done my research, taken my classes, used my own car to learn. Just like any other "qualified" tuner.

Having a shop look at my maps wouldn't prove anything, what proves what I do is my results.

My prices are high?! lol. Far from it. My prices are very competitive with other road tuners and other dyno tuners.

Honestly I don't really care that you joined the forum to come in here and bash me. I don't claim to be an expert and I'll tell someone when their setup is too much for me to handle. But I dont just turn a knob and call it good.
