The only reason why he has done a ton of tunes is because his price is so low.

I still believe you get what you pay for.

I have personally seen him tune some radical cars and have them drive and run better than stock. I have seen him do wonders on a few bone stock trucks, it was night and day difference after the tunes. You can say what you want about Jesse (Wait4Me) but he is doing something right to be in business for so long and to make a living tuning.
Ed Wright has tuned more than anyone I know of. You might want to re-think that number of cars he has tuned. Think about how long he's been doing this and how many a day that would be. Out of all of the people I know that have had a Wait4Me tune, they have had someone else program it afterward.

Why do you wave your W4M flag about every 8 posts or so... you've given your input, thats all thats necessary. The bottom line is, there's more people that have gotten his tunes and ended up having them retuned than not I believe...

at $75, just about anyone will "give him a shot" as I did... and I have had to download a completely bone stock tune and start over from there thanks to Jesse's tuning... he's a quack, and will always be a quack in my book... sorry...

Default wait4me

I made the mistake of buying a wait4me tune after I installed my magnacharger. The first computer he sent would'nt even run the truck the second time it ran ok but heated up no fans added to program. The 3rd time it ran ok but was a 1/2 second slower than before. Stuck the original computer back in and magncharger tune and have left it alone ever since. I wil never make the wait4me tune mistake again.

i barely noticed anything, he told me when i get my headers in there is no point of sending it back to him to retune it unless he needs to delete the o2s. which he does and im gonna make him remove more tm. and abuse mode turned off.. how does that sound?

I'm not sure who all is doing the new body style yet in mail order form. I'd probably check with Wheatley or Ed Wright.

IMO people just start jumping on the tuning bandwagon on who is the best. Its even worse in the TBSS world, people paying $400-$500 for mail order tunes. The only pattern I see is more and more people doing mail order tunes, and more and more people locking the pcm's. They are locking not to protect there work, but mainly so you can't see how little is changed would be my guess. There is only so many changes that can be made on a stock or bolt on car's tune through the mail safely.
