damn! great gains.
I'd like to have a copy of the two tunes to see where the problems were, heck just a copy of the mail order one would be enough.

How much boost you running?

Allen,

That is not in my character to bad mouth someone in a forum I have never done so and will not start.

I will be giving you a call again.

Man- that sounds so righteous! I forked out for the HP tune software and still waiting for it to arrive. I put new plugs in yesterday so I have a half decent baseline to work from...............

If someone knows what they are doing a in person tune with a wideband is always going to be better than a mail order tune. Alan Nelson or not. They don't know when it is knocking etc. so they stay have to stay a little concervative on a mail order IMO, or if they overshoot timing or not enough fuel it will be knocking and pulling timing too much etc....

Yeah even the mail order tuners will tell you that a road and dyno tune is better than mail order. It just makes sense, so many variables. I would say the best of the best mail orders could still have a few hp squeeked out in a road tune. But, certainly impressive #'s and huge add on of power!

Three new tunes on 3 of your trucks in two years, I guess they weren't that bad?

Customer pays for shipping, that's always been the policy, it's been that way for you for 2years, don't act like it was a surprise, you have a total of 7 retunes and paid for shipping everytime.


That's great you found a tuner that is local.

Give me a call if you need anything,
allen
