Default Protune in Upstate NY?

Is there a place relatively close to get a protune? I'm in the capital district area, 3hrs north of NYC.

3 hours from NYC would put you at around 5 hrs from XXTuning, its a great shop though with a very Attention to Detail Tuner: Chris

Ok that sgood to know. Let us know how the tune goes from XXTuning. When are you going?

What should a tune cost me? I looked at the places down below and they range from $400 for the tune to $75/hr. It should only take a couple hours right?

Has anyone been to these shops (From Cobb's website)?

I'd go to Innovative Tuning if that is the closet one, Mike is really cool and he will create a monster out of your car.

I went to XX with my 05 with TBE on Stage 2 Map ( Cobb Accessport ) Car dynoed 285 HP with 300 ftlbs tq. After tune 285 HP but 320ftlb of tq at 18lbs of boost. XX Tuning a reputable shop and Automaster as well they are heavy in the racing and tuning scene. Dont know your mods but if it is just mild mods like i have save your $ . My next tune will be at Automaster after more mods. Good luck man. Cant go wrong with these two thou.

XX Tuning in CT or Innovative Tuning in Buffalo. XX Tuning has a Dyno, Innovative does not and will street tune your car. I am going with the latter as they are only 1 hour away.

If I was in NYC, I def hit up XX Tuning.

i'm going for my protune monday at xx with chris. I've heard nothing but good about him and his ability to tune sti's.

If you have the acessport, they charge 350 for tune, plus tax xx told me around 375 out the door.
