Baseline policyListed rates are baseline costs and do not include HPTuners license credits unless explicitly specified. Total pricing may vary or increase due to mechanical delays, configuration mismatches, or layout complexities requiring extra diagnostics.

Applies to street or remote tuning parameters for standalone engine management arrays.

Prices are subject to change based on mechanical readiness. Baseline rates only. If your combination is not listed — an engine swap, a stand-alone ECU, something unusual — call and we will price it properly rather than guess.

What the base tune covers

The number on the menu is where a tune starts

A base calibration covers a stock or bolt-on vehicle: fuel, spark, idle and drivability written from scratch for your combination. Add-ons exist because a cam, a blower, a swap or a different fuel each change what the calibration has to do — they are not upsells, they are extra work.

Licensing credits are a real cost we pass through rather than bury. HPTuners credits are $50 each and are charged by the platform, not by us.

How a calibration is built

Included A calibration written for your vehicle, not copied from another.
Included Safe timing and air/fuel targets — engine health decides where we stop.
Add-on Cams, boost, nitrous, alternative fuels and swap configuration.
Add-on Transmission and module tuning, where the platform needs it.
Pass-through HPTuners licensing credits, at $50 each.
Not required Buying parts from us. We tune whatever is on the vehicle.
