WTF? 267hp?
$400 for plugs? LMAO. Plugs should be $70 MAX.
Tires you can get two rears for $500 if you look good enough.
$700 for a tune is also
It should be like 3-500.
I wouldn't have taken my car to AAM from what I've heard from them, sucks when you don't do your research good enough.

To avoid cost and just get a minor tune (rear tires required and plugs recommended) it was still 2700.00. 500.00 was them covering shipping.
Sux... I know I can do plugs for cheaper, and the tires. I will prob have them fix the manifold and ship it back. Once I get the other stuff done, I will drive it up for tune...

spark plugs cost bout $60, plus say $100 for labor
rear tires run bout $250 a piece, so that $500
and the tune should be $300-500
so max your bill should be $2k, adding the $800 to fix your manifold
dont know what else you might need that will run your bill to $4k
Function Tuned is amazing with the VQ. The owner is working on a monster 350z. They have a big bbq comming up to. You should ship your car out there and then fly out for the bbq to pick it up and show it off.

Trust me the re-flash will make the plugs perform better. So total came to $400. I bet you the tune cost $700 because it also require another re-flash... With AAM the answer to everthing is re-flash coz they cant tune Utec for chit!!1
Update:
They ended up conservatively tuning me to 340hp. Something about the PE turbos spooling to quick and being hard on the engine.... IDK. In my opinion, I have enough goodies on my car to be closer to 375 or 400. I will be installing my own plugs, and buying my own tires. After that, I will be finding someone else to retune it because Ive heard too much negative things about AAM after I had already took my G there.

your tuning issues w/ AAM will no longer be a problem now that JTibbs is there
have him retune it, since the last tune they did was crap. even 340 is weak sauce, what psi is that at?

The car is still there, but I cant afford another retune right now. They told me 340hp, but the invoice says it shouldnt be run over 2-3lbs. Now if they tuned it right, why the hell do I need to keep it that low? When I sent it up there, I was expecting them to do a few things to it. Ended up totalling close to 4000 bux, so I had to decide on the few things I could afford. Manifold leak fixed, and a tune. I dont know...I guess I will find out when I get the car back.
