Default tuners via e-mail?

Is there any tuners that can build and sell a tune that i can just put on myself with hp tuners or do they all require you to mail the pcm to them? I normally would do it myself but i need the truck asap and don't have the time.

Yea. They usually will do email tuning if they originally tuned for you and now you can flash it yourself. But I'm sure they'd be willing to work out a email tune price. But isn't the point of having HPT to keep from paying someone else to do the tuning?

Go with a BlackBear tune from Justin. He has the most accurate mailorder tune you can possibly have, he doesn't lock his tunes like Nelson, Wheatley, and some others do so that way if you ever buy personal tuning software you don't have to get a new PCM, and his customer service is excellent. It is normal to be busy, but Nelson has had quite a few unhappy customers and Wheatley has been hard to reach from what others say.

LOL, that would be the kicker wouldn't it. That didn't even cross my mind, and yes he does use EFI Live.
