Default 224/224 cam with wait4me?

Anyone ever had Jesse tune for a 224/224 or similar cam? The reason why is because I was curious if he had a tune on file for such a thing. I can't afford a Nelson tune yet and $150 isn't a big hit to my wallet.

If anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm not looking for the best possible gains(the nelson tune will hopefully do that). I'm just trying to do a tune that will get me by until I have the money.

I got a mail order tune from him in my setup and ran it for 2 months before I could finally get a dyno tune and it worked fine. I wasnt expecting it to be perfect and it would sometimes stall out when the engine was idleing down from high rpms, but other than that no complaints.

To get rid of that stalling out, I would ask him to adjust the stall saver a bit. I raised mine some in and around the idle area and it hasnt even dipped on me since.

I already had one of his tunes so I sent it back to him for him to tune the 223/225 in my 5.3... I dont know exactly how it will work out yet but I'll let you know... the cam hasnt gone in yet.

i would just assume do this, but I have a 99 pcm which is **** anyways. So buy spending the $157.xx I would get a new pcm which I would need anyways. So if $75 will allow me to get by for 2 months then that's fine with me.

I know what you mean though.
