Sounds right on par with dyno tuning cost. When you go there make sure and let them know what you are looking for. Communication on your part will help ensure the best tune. I would also ask if there is any warranty per say. Will they do adjustments for x amount of days after the dyno? You want to make sure you can bring it back if it needs some minor tweaking.
They do have a 30 day grace period if the tune needs additional adjustments.

So I put in some new spark plugs tonight in preparation for the coming dyno tuning and boy did it wake it up, the o'l butt dyno tightened right up! 
Had what I think were original ACDelco iridiums. Put in NGK TR55s. Still doesn't run too well at low RPMs but at least I think the car is ready for a good tune job now

Well I got the car back on July 3rd, West Bend Dyno had the car for 4 days. I have put over 1,000 miles of various miles on the car now but I will be taking it back in a few days for more tuning... 
They fixed the startup and cleaned up the RPM range (will get the dyno sheet added later). However the car likes to die in reverse, still a ton of cam surge, sometimes neutral rolls around 1,500 RPMs, and sometimes drops to 200 RPMs when taking off easy in 1st. Overall wasn't impressed for a $600 tune but they are willing to do some more tuning beyond their 30 day re-tune policy.

Tuning a car with a huge cam in it takes some time. Don't give up and don't lose hope!

I would suggest calling Late Model Throttle in Waukesha, WI and hope they can get you out of this mess. LMT tuned my supercharged car and it runs and drives like stock (but with 2x the horsepower)
