Another YES for NELSON PERFORMANCE. Defintley one of the best guys i have ever done business with! And he doesnt stop till your satisfied, That's why he's so busy, people WANT his tunes! I cant begin to tell you the how much help this man has done to get my truck running great. Whatever you do dont get a handheld tuner!!!

For the price you cant beat a W4M tune to a certain extent. For a mostly stock truck it should be fine but then again I have read horror stories from people with stock trucks and a W4M tune.


The reason there are so many Nelson believers in here is cause he takes care of his customers and does a damn good job where all the W4M guys? Oh I forgot they all already bought a Nelson tune. Seriously. Colby, AP2002, sslow4.8 the list goes on. Not trying to sound like an a$$ but what works is what works and IMO W4M isnt it.

Like 1slow is saying wait4me tune is for a mostly stock truck. I have it and cant complain too much cause it got me a 14.08 and I thought that was decent, but I "NEVER" thought Jesse couldn't handle deleting my rear 02s. He has had several shots at it and I "still" have a SES light. Got a crank position relearn done and my rear 02s are still activating the SES light.

All in all it is good enough "for now" while I get other things done, but as soon as I can I am calling Allen and getting him to tune it. I am driving to San Antonio and making a family trip out of it and getting a street tune.

I know Nelson does good stuff, but $490 for just a mail order is a bit steep IMO. Some will agree, some won't.

Then again, people pay $400 for a HPP3 so I dunno..

I'm not trying to start a pissing match, so please don't think I am. I've never ran a W4M tune so I'm not taking sides with Jesse, but I think that statement is pretty far from the truth.

Why do I say that? Because Ryan(Rhino79) tells me the Wood Haulers built 408 w/ spray seems to be running pretty darn strong on just a W4M mail order tune. Just something to consider, because that isn't a mostly stock truck.

The wood hauler hasn t sprayed his truck yet and I damn sure wouldnt with s astoker combo and a mail order tune thats alot of money to trust to someone 5 states away who doesnt have a whole lot of stroker experience. Allen Nelson tuned for NIckens racing in Houston for everything from stock 6Ls to C5R block 437s with proharger F1Rs I dont think your resume can be better than that. I dont get any kickbacks either you will just notice that all of those whoe have a Nelson tune believe in him due to his knowledge, results and support. You get what oyu pay for plain and simple. The man knows his $hit

He hasn't? I called Ryan thursday and he told me they sprayed it on the dyno just the other day.
