I'm sure these situations can turn ugly and the dyno tuner would rather ovoid the whole issue. The last thing he wants is a ticked of guy telling everyone bad things. I have read about electrical problems with the Mega Squirt on their own web site. The guy is going to have to tell you the cost based on worst case, as he certainly is aware of these possible issues.

It is very pricey to have it tuned even if the hardware is all in perfect order.

Is all the components (injectors, O2, temp sensors, Map or Mass flow) all Ford compatible? If so you could pop the EEC IV on it, and this guy could tune it for you.
The injectors are delphi, no mass flow, it s pretty simple set up and it's probably ok, I just hate not knowing!! Honestly I would rather just switch to a carb set up than change ecu's, inectors etc.. Im going to change out the collector gaskets to see if I can get the backfireing to stop, if not I will probably just switch to a carb and be done with it.
