Ive been told by a few different time frames by Sydney tuners. they range from 4-5 runs and 30mins, 4-5 hrs and 2 days. What are your experiences?

Depending on your mods I would allow for a whole day at least.I would avoid anyone who does a 30min tune.

I day should be plenty for a tune as they usually only need a few solid hours of working on the car.

That sounds like a generic that will be touched up to me. He did say it could be longer but usually around 30mins and 4-6 runs.

My 2nd tune was $300 for 4 hours.

Its about getting a good safe tune for me. If it can be done in 30mins fine, just seemed to be very quick to custom tune a car.

Like for example it wouldnt take as long to re-tune a std car, add some boost and lean on it a bit, rather than aftermarket injectors, exhaust, cooler etc.. Also how good the tuner is, if he has no idea about a certain brand of injector it would take a bit longer to get right..

Peak power can be achieved pretty quickly, but it's all the tiny time consuming adjustments that take time.

It will be getting intercooler, injectors and cat.
