I may be completely ignorant here (and in reality, that is pretty bloody likely  )- but I cant understand why this would cost that much? Is it not just a case with these things of plugging it in, setting the parameters and uploading the new program? Once you have the software required to do so, surely this is just a 15 minute job.  |
I wasn't aware that the airbags had any impact with the new generation PCM's, perhaps it's something I haven't seen yet. As far I am aware, (for all models, LS1/6, LS2, L76, L98) the only "essential" thing you need to do is turn VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) off.
If you have an LS1 and ONLY want VATS turned off (the minimum required to make the engine run, ie. no performance tuning), I wouldn't charge anywhere near $1000. For a full MAFLess mail order custom tune, I have charged a few people from this forum as little as $200.
Why do Doctors charge $10K for fake boobs??? Because they can...
