Was sitting at a stoplight and the young driver to my right gets my attention and says, "Nice Ferrari!" I said "Thanks, but it's a Porsche." He said he was looking at the emblem on the wheel and it had a prancing horse. I said, "Risky Business" He did the palm to forehead thing and said "oh yeah, it's like that one, cool."
My last two "tune ups" were $11,000. The last one was an engine rebuild, including bearings and rings, new transmission seals, rebuilding the ECU, headers, and having an x-pipe made to spec. The tune up before that included rebuilding the heads and valves, new cams, new MAF, and all new hoses, seals, and sensors, intake honed to match the heads, and the cam covers and intake stripped, and powder coated. It was about the same price.
It's that WYAIT stuff that gets you!
The tune up before that was only $2,000. I did plugs. a wideband 02 and added what is called a Shark Tuner. It replaces the ECU chips with programmable chips that are accessible thru the diagnostic port and an interface you connect with your laptop. It has a feature that will auto tune spark advance and fuel maps on the fly with a laptop connected. That's pretty cool.
It only has 8 spark plugs, but the 928 does have twin dizzies.
