I just wondered what was carried out during a rolling road tune

ie is it all the same? or do different places do different checks

fueling.timing etc??

Well, the term 'Rolling Road Tune' is a bit of a loose one really. We charge £100 for a tune at the moment, but for the money, it doesn't necessarily mean that there will be any adjustments.

For us it more means an approximate allocation of time to carry out multiple runs having checked fuelling/timing etc within the parameters of what is fairly easily adjustable.

The most we are likely to adjust beyond base timing and emissions etc on a RR Tune is boost, if there is an adjustment point (bleed valve or electronic controller etc).

Mapping is something different and is charged accordingly.

If you book time on a rolling road then you call the shots(within reason) as they are working for you!!
If you want timing swings etc for ignition and cam it will take up more time.
Discuss exactly what you want from the operator, you may just want a fuelling check where anything like lean mixes, pinking etc can be observed and looked for.
I pay £35 for a fuelling check which takes about 20 minutes, lists max power, torque, afr, boost.
AFR will tell you a lot anyway, and it may not need any adjustment ?
