I'm ready for a retune on mine too, but it's outside the 60 days so I have to pay a little if I want it. I'm going to get HPT or EFILive and start doing my own evenutally, but if I had to do it again I think I would probably go with Nelson.

Nelson, PCM for less, Westers are all good and will take care of you.

one other name to consider is Wait4Me performance Jesse Bubb is doing tunes for $ 150.00 & that includes a new PCM (no core charge or return required) or send him your PCM for $ 75.00. Plus his deal comes with a free lifetime no charge updates (you just pay shipping).

I got mine from Jesse and love it. Especally the $$$ I saved

If you live close to a tuner and can have them do a Dyno tune that would be well worth the money. Basically read all you can on the different tuners and what they have to offer and go with the one that you feel most confortable with. They all will take care of you.

Me personally I wouldnt go with westers cause I raced a rcsb z71 with exhaust intake westers tune and stock size tires and I had a truck length on him by 100 and I weigh more than him and have 1.5" taller tires. At the time I only had my tune exhaust intake and my POS Gran MAF that I think actually made me lose power. All the other tuners I havent had any first hand experience I have a nelson tune btw and I love it.

I've been very happy with my PCMforLess tune, especially the customer service that I received while working out the bugs for the 02 PCM (the 99-02 PCM swap was still kinda new at the time). If I remember correctly, the price was $250 after the core is returned, then $50 for future updates.

Hey, I am very loyal to Allen Nelson @ Nelson Performance! The tune he custom tailored for me and my truck is superb! When you c all him, he will explain and go over everything you want. The tune makes my truck a beast, and I won't drive one without a Nelson Performance Tune. For the price you pay for a Diablosport Tuner, you can have a Custom Tune and no worries! Call Allen today or nelsonperformance.com

I personally have a tune from wait4me. I spent the $150 and have my stock PCM to use for retunes. I am very happy with it, but hear Nelson is great too. I just figured I could save some $$ for other mods, and if I didn't like the wait4me tune I was only out $75. So I am going to use the $300 I saved on a TC and shift kit
