keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I've got both the w4m and the Nelson tune...I can't compare them though, the w4m was for my 4.8 and the Nelson is for my cam'd 6.0. I've got complaints about both though, Jesse(w4m) can't tune for 93 octane fuel...all of his tunes are "dual" tunes, so it's not optimized for 93 octane fuel. Nelson gave me a pretty good mail order for my 6.0L, but I guess he forgot to delete my rear O2's, now I have to deal with a check engine light until it gets updated

I do plan on having my w4m tune updated so I can run it on the 6.0L for comparison to the Nelson mail order. But overall, the Nelson will be superior after a live update session, because nothing beats a live dyno tune.

The w4m tune did make a nice improvement on my 4.8, it was well worth the money IMO. I just chose Nelson for the 6.0L for the sake of live tuning.

Why even ask sounds like you already had your mind made up. W4M has an inferior tune plain and simple. Look what Nelson was able to do with BlueCajins truck with just a mail order tune no logging nothing. He is hitting mid 12s N/A with a 5.3. Nelson tunes my truck also, you just cant beat him for mail order luckily I live close and can get him to do live tunes for me. Do what you want but like everyone says you get what you pay for and you dont pay much for a W4M tune and well quite honestly from what I have seen you dont get much. Just my opinion and from what I have seen on this site time and again for the last year or so since W4M has been out. You are already going against what everyone in this thread has said so far so I dont expect to change your mine but its my .02

I'm running a street tune from chrisj6 now which made a nice improvement over my mail order tune. I had Bryan Herter @ PCMForLess doing my mail order tunes and I don't have a bad thing to say about the guy, his price is good, his tune felt great, and I never waited over 2 hours for him to return an email.

Couldn't vote, no option for "I tune it myself."
