Posted 10/02/10 08:09 AM Share Posted 10/02/10 08:09 AM A thousand bucks buys a fair bit of labour mate.....for that sort of money, I'd be expecting him to supply the parts as well.... Has he done many XR6's?? Have you spoken to anybody else who's had work done by him? And what does he expect in return? Hope your not gonna' end up with skinned knees or stretch marks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66021-should-i-trade-labour-for-labourand-get-a-free-tune/#findComment-980339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being comfortable with your tuner is more important than pretty dyno charts or timeslips, if you know the bloke well then he can give you exactly what you want and be there to touch it up if required.I reckon go for it. Ignore the stooges that are blinded by the fanboy parades of their favourite workshop.
