Their prices don't seem high at all: labor rate $85/hour, SCT tuning $190/hour.
Most places charge $100/hour, some give discounts to $80-85.
Are you guys talking about the retail prices of the products they sell?
quote:Ok gotcha ... that makes sense. Prices will definitely be higher in that regard.

ex. changing of a dang header gasket on a 5.0 will take about 30 mins tops, they will charger 2 hours of labor.. [/QB]

I won, got cashed out then started to build. They have done all the work to my car I have never brought my car to a diffrent shop. I was just bein sarcastic about the 600 HP Club just wanted to get you guys attention. But Ill roll with anybody I dont descriminate you could be in a 88 4 cyl I still Roll!!

quote:Yea I hear you on that. I been goin to Ditos for 9 years. They used to be open from 6pm to midnight back in the day. There prices are up there but so is there quality of work. I get little deals here and there but thats probably because I been goin there since day 1. I could talk to them about the cafords account see what they think.

unless Ditos lowers the prices!!!!!
Someone should talk to them about opening up a CAfords account and giving us board members a hook up since they are the only shop on this part of the Peninsula that does dyno tuning..
quote:Yea bro If you could talk to them than that would be great... keep us updated and hopefully I run into you on the road sometime

quote:Cafords is known for it's endless supply of cheap ass people, always looking for a "hook up". Kinda like you. I went to a shop last year to have my head gaskets replaced, the guy gave me 3 free dyno runs after he was done because I didn't bitch or haggle about the price. He was really sick of mustang owners coming in looking for a hook up. It's a business, they are in it to make money. If you can't afford the services hit the road.

But they are a good shop don't get me wrong.. they have some nice cars coming outta there.. Next time I swing by there i'll ask if they are interested in a CAfords dyno deal... they charged $600 for supercharged tunes.. yes, i know thats about the going rate but whats wrong with a hook up for people who will bring you endless business like CAFORDS is known for doing..
quote:Ok Mr. Big Money Money... I'm not asking for stuff for cheap bro.. for example I have countless friends who go to their shop and they have yet to budge on pricing.. I'm not looking for 50% or even 25% off..

On a side note, anyone greatly affected in this recession and is struggling, has no business taking their car into a performance shop and throwing down cash, just my humble opinion.

Its awesome having a convertible! Part that sucks the most is when you go to the track they kick you out if you dont have all the safety gear. I found myself stuck because I had a low 10second convertible that I couldnt run on the track because it was "too" fast to run under the radar even with a 6 point roll bar.
May not look too "cool" but might save some frustration in the future.
Good luck with what you decide and please post some more pics!
