I forgot exactly what he charges for his mail orders...

but i would def. take the time to drive there and let him get you on the dyno... im sure time on his dyno will be more than his mail orders... but its well worth it. This mail order tuning is like shooting in the dark sometimes and dyno tuning is a much better alternative if you have access to it.

im with everyone else. drive to nelson performance. he prefers to do live street tunes over dyno tunes because he gets to see real world variables. ls1truck.com is allen nelsons forums and his website is in my sig.

If you can take it to a tuner and let him do his thing in person . That would be alot better than any mail order tune...

Make the drive. A Tune made on the street or dyno tuned is the best tune!
