Nelson Tune on S10?

Anybody have any experience with having a Nelson Tune(or other) on a 4.3 S10? If so, power gains? mileage? better drivability? I've been thinking about having one, but wondered if anybody with an S10 had experience. Thanks

Hi Allen,

This is Kyle, just wanted to tell you that the tune is great. Just got back to Fort Worth this afternoon, and noticed a huge improvement on my gas mileage. I think I will have about 50 to 75 extra miles to a tank now. I filled up in Austin and I have yet to finish that tank off. As far as the performance goes, it is the best that I have had yet. I will be going to scheduled dyno day around here soon and I will let you know what kind of numbers I am running.

Thanks again, Kyle - 2003 S-10 v6

pulled this off his site.i asked him about the s10 i use to have and he said he had good luck tuning them

my previous truck (97 gmc sonoma 4.3l, msd wires, cai,comp cam 206/210 500/500 114 lsa, custom lt's, no cats, built 4l60e) ran decent with just a handheld programmer but after a nelson tune....whew even though it was a mail order tune it was on spot, great power! bad mileage but hey I am performance oriented not mpg oriented. If you want mileage Allen is the man for that to though he does whatever you want and he is an extremely nice guy. Great to deal with.
