Mail order tuner poll

[ladybird]

Quick poll for you guys: should I go with {pcmforless} or {madz28} for my tuning. Any recomendations? thanks.

PCM4LESS is going to do my tune next spring when I get my LT's, but I don't really have anything to say as far as one vs. the other, but i've heard pcm4less has been doing it alot longer.

I don't think you could go wrong with either. Obviously MadZ28 is a touch cheaper.

i agree with chris. the variations from car to car make one work better and vice versa. both in my opinion are very knowledgable and reliable.

What are the mods? I will throw my hat into the ring.

Cam, 1.6 rockers, valve springs, lt headers, no cats, borla catback, ws6 hood weather guard removed, no egr, complete re ring, re bering and reseal.

OK, I must ask: Cost/benefit I understand, and have also heard horror stories about mailorder tunes. Wouldn't it be better to get a wide-band tune, then dyno-tune for (details).

You cannot alter the pre-programmed mailorder tunes if you perform other mods, can you?

Just curious as to why people elect to go that method, as opposed to a true "hands on" tuning. BTW, this is a serious question, for my own benefit.

Thanks and I know it is kinda off topic.

Ok for starter's its usually the other way around get a mail order to get it moving then take it to a Tuner for hands on Tweaking .. BUT Some of us dont have the benifit of Hands on Tuners in our area .. Memphis for 1 .. Plenty of guys tuning every other engine but when ya take an LT1 they look at you like you have a Yugo Turbo Diesel running on Vegetable oil .:lol:

I used PCMforless on my build up and i'm very pleased with it. He's a top notch guy. Answered all my questions and was very stright forward and even offered suggestions on how to make my car run better. I highly recommend PCMforless. Also if you do some more mods to your car it's only fifty bucks for a tune afterwards.

I tune my own.

But I would think that either of those 2 could give you a decent baseline tune.

Where's Grim's Poll??:mad:
