-must be within 30 minutes of detriot, if its further i think i would have to charge something for driving that far since the gains would start to drop a lot
-a minumum of 2 hours tuning
-$20 an hour of street tuning and or ecu setup

do you guys think thats reasonable i ask here first cause i would probably start by going to forums and posting a basic idea of what im offering, would you do it?

i dont have access to a dyno but if a customer wanted to go to a dyno and pay me way less than the dyno operator to tune their car i would be more than happy to

are those prices reasonable?

Here's an idea:
Offer tuning consults by receiveing customer's data logs and their current workmap ( referring to AEM EMS) by email, where you could do the spreadsheet analysis to see where the timing is falling off in relation to torque and vehicle speed, relationship of AFR's to load values and EGT's, etc. Charge a flat fee for "smoothing out the customer's car's running and setting up the correct Injector Advance table, etc.
