How much does a GMC Canyon tuning cost?

Recently, I bought an older pickup truck to use as a project vehicle. I’d like to begin by getting a bit more power out of its engine. How much does a GMC Canyon tuning cost?

tuning will average you around $150/hour. Most tuning jobs take at least between 2-4 hours, and you’ll want to discuss your goals with the tuner/mechanic beforehand so that you’re both on the same page.
A stage one tune involves remapping your truck’s electronic control unit (ECU) to increase horsepower. If you decide to later move onto stage two, the tuner will install new parts, usually in your exhaust and air intake systems.
In any case, you’ll want to hire someone who knows their way around a GMC’s ECU. Tuning results often come down to the expertise of the tuner.
Important caution: tuning your vehicle will likely void its warranty, so if your truck is still under warranty, be sure to read the fine print first!
Improving your GMC’s performance often winds up taking more time and money than you anticipated. And when you’re on a budget (and who isn’t?), you need to consider the cost vs. benefits of doing something like investing in a GMC Canyon tuning.
