I was charged $320 bucks for tuning after mine was installed, during initial break-in. I assume that's standard practice?

I guess I don't really know. This is my first brand new engine and usually do most of my own work. But 300-400 for a tune sounds about the norm for a tune

Agreed. Dyno and tuner time costs money.

Plus to me an extra 300-400 to make sure that everything is perfect with a new engine is cheap insurance considering the cost of building the engine

Idk, they were taking resume's last week on facebook and looking for another person the way it sounded. Not sure what the deal is, if they are looking for an additional one, or a replacement.

Yea, I understand that. I just know a number of tuning shops around the metro area do some form of road tuning from time to time.

Yes, this I'm pretty sure is probably what the above mentioned shops do when they take a car out on the street for tuning.

Yep, right around $300ish sounds right.
