Interesting...it appears some messages were edited or deleted in the thread. This time around, there's not one mention of Nelson's. Wonder why that is?

 

Well......looks as though I'm the cause of all the ruckus here in this thread.
Though I only asked a single simple question, THAT'S STILL UNANSWERED!!!
Look, does Westers or Nelson have any dyno numbers to give out for their tunes??
For $500.00 they should. I want dyno numbers from both of them for my 6.0L VHO.
If they cannot at least give out dyno numbers for a stock (NO OTHER MODS) VHO, then I will just not buy. A Hypertech unit will be fine for me if either of them cannot produce the HP & TQ gains over stock.
I want the numbers to be competitive, so a Nelson 93 oct tune to a Westers 93 oct tune needs to used.
I would even like a 87 to 87oct tune comparison while their at it.
I really don't find this to be a difficult procedure to be performed for us (their customers and their profits).

Oh yeah, LOL how do these guys compare to the above tuners: FastChip tune, HP tune, and the MTI tune???
Need all the hard #'s before I spend $500 + for a tune.

Jim

 

Too much in here for me, lol. Right now you all make my head want to .

 

Like I've said before. Ipicked up 35 rwhp from my dyno tune at MTI. I ended up with an SAE corrected HP of 312.

 

Jim, If you can trust Hyper tech's claims, why would you not believe another tuner without proof?

If you actually took the time to search this board there is a wealth of knowledge to be found. These include dyno numbers, actual real world time improvements (1/4, 1/8th, etc), MPG increases, customer service issues, and how badly hypertech sucks.

This thread =

 

Yeah Hypertech has dyno #'s on their website and ads but theya re a damn lie. There is plenty of dyno 3's from Nelson tunes and some dyno #'s from Westers tune here. Use the search button and youll see. For Westers dyno #'s youll get more at mychevytruck.com. I can only speak for Westers and Nelsons and Fastchip. When I went with the LS1 I went with a Fastchip tune for personal and other reasons. Ive seen people talk **** about Fastchip tunes and it is the best tune I have had even though its on a new motor. Honestly man you will be happy with any custom tune. They are all gonna mke your truck feel a whole lot better. SOme may get a few more hp one time and the other another time.Just dont get a handheld tuner.

 

I really appreciate all of you guys input. Though I really want Nelson, Westers, and FastChips to send me real world dyno figures on their tunes on a VHO in stock form.
I really doubt I will get that from them though.

Jim

 

Yeah, this thread went a little astray....

One thing I think we all agree on is that a custom tune is worth it's price, no question. And handhelds are paperweights....

Dude, you won't get any of them to do that- too many variables. Lots of info here. Just look.

I got 3mpg and 1.2 seconds with my Wester's.

 

all in all. your best bet is to go with a sponser here off the board. they will do the best imo. there are several here. i just prefer nelson. especially after my westers experience. there are several here in houston as well.

 

Man if you want stock VHO dyno #'s with and without tunes use the search button. I know this has been talked about before. It would be worth your time!
