Is a street tune better than a dyno tune?

Is it worth getting a dyno tune?

It also prevents or minimizes backfire. Dyno tuning can also save you from costly repairs in the future.

How much does flash tuning cost?

Go for flash tuning if you want a complete customizability and if you are serious about performance. It costs around $500 – depending on the tuner.

Will a tune up increase HP?

Tuning up the engine isn’t going to actually increase horsepower but when your truck is suffering, so is your oomph it once had. For example, if your air or fuel filters are clogged, you could be starving your engine of what it needs to run properly. An oil change is also an important part of maintaining your engine.
