EcuTek Tuning Time

I want to get a custom ECUTek tune on a dyno and I was curious how long it should take. This will be the first time I've been tuned. I have a cat-back, intake, and Walbro 255. I was offered 2-3 hrs. for one price and 1 hour for a cheaper price. I just need to know if I should go ahead and pay the higher price for the longer time or is 1 hour long enough?

Sorry if my post is jumbled, It's late for me.

And thanks in advance.

depends on how good the tuner is and how many they've done... if this is one of the first ones, it's probably going to need longer than an hour...

When it comes to these matters I like to use the anaology of hiring a prostitute

You want quality not quantity

Knowing when to stop and how far to go is the most impotant thing a tuner knows - and this only comes from hands on experience on a particular ecu platform and car, you may be paying for someone else's education

After a lot of research I feel pretty confident that this tuner knows what they are doing. Thank you for your input. I'm getting tuned today, so we'll see how it goes.
