That's cause your Wester's was a mailorder and the Nelson's you have is a driven tune. Not arguing what you gained or who you like, just pointing out the difference to someone that might not know what they're reading

Wester's advantage: offer a full credit towards a new PCM if you ever switch vehicles

Either custom tuner will get you great gains, choose what works for you

I have a Westers tune, I like the gains that I got from it. Looking at the two websites for each, both offer performance upgrades. But Westers also caters to more commercial accounts for saving on fuel for fleet vehicles, and adding in speed limiters. It's a totally different market compared to Nelson Tunes. So you can almost assume that Westers is going to be ultra conservative but still a gain nonetheless, and Nelson's for the most power out of a tune.

I can't compare anything to Wester's because I don't know anyone that has one. I had a Nelson Tune when my truck was all stock. A friend of mine wanted to try me with his stock truck identical to mine,(same tires, rear-end, etc). From a dead stop I had put 8 lengths on him by the time we hit 80. This was a 93 octane tune.
Can anyone with a Westers tune tell of similar results?

Haven't found anyone that want's to race and find out. Did pretty decent against a GTP with alot of bolt-ons (exhaust, smaller pulley, intake work, nitrous: don't think he used this on me though )
