The whole cost thing is pretty easy to show that when it really boils down to it, price differences between different platforms once you get set up with gauges and all that to bring things out to a more equal playing level, there really is not a huge difference. As a self tuner the most expensive route to go if you have a 2006+ would be EFILive. You?d be looking at $899 off the top of my head for the FlashScan v2, then if going the Edge CTS route for gauges, add on those costs in the above post, what switch on the fly tuning with that, add the price for a SOTF cable/switch, around $70.
Pricing when it comes to someone who doesn?t do their own tuning and will be purchasing tuning from someone, the $299 for the HP Tuners interface is appealing I?m sure as no one wants to spend money but always wants everything. But the purchase of a set of tunes plus the interface you?ll be getting up towards the $1000 mark anyways. Running a custom tune at minimum a person absolutely should be using an EGT gauge at minimum. Add another couple hundred minimum just for a stand-alone EGT Gaige and probe. It truly doesn?t take much at all of a sudden there really isn?t much difference in money spent in the end. What it ultimately boils down to is what the end user wants for themselves and the features they would like to have. SOTF can be done with HP Tuners through some hackery and trickery but on other levels there still is limitations there depending on what you want to be able to do when it comes to custom parameters and things of that nature or real time tuning. So I?m the end it?s all about what you want to have for yourself.
