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

and I'm asking what makes it steep?????? Just because there are other tuners that do it cheaper???

If it matters to you or anyone, I know of two businesses that have Allen Nelson come down to Houston and Conroe (just north of Houston) to tune their vehicles.
One's a racing team (Nickens Brothers Racing) and the other is a dealer (Corvettes of Houston).
Like I said, those are only two businesses that I know of locally.
I also know he works with FLT transmissions.
$490.00.......well, I don't put a price on great power results and reliability from a great tuner. Plus it includes a chasis Dynometer tune.
I've met Allen Nelson in person 3-4 times. He is a very nice guy that takes his personal time out to handle what changes you need done to your tune.
I'll be using him in person to retune my truck after the Radix & cam install.

Sure......... and you **** roses........
I doubt they were even the same kind of trucks racing against each other with the same mods.
And your 6.0L will out run my 6.0L.......
You more than likely didn't even see this race and you must be posing for Super Chips.
Don't believe everything you "hear". He said she said that he said... kind of stuff.....
Pissin match........ take it how you want. I haven't had one in a while!

Dude, have another for me!
I tossed my mail order tune for a dyno tune BUT
I have never heard anything but good about Nelson's tuning or service.
Have had bad experience with another's tune although the service i got was exceptional.
Have heard similar issues from other tuners.
If I had to use a Mail order tune it would be Nelson's without a doubt.

If you're spending that kind of money, you might as well buy tuning software or have it dyno tuned. Heck I only paid $250 for my street tune.

Man , it is like a wild animal in a cage , just keep poking it with a stick and see how mad it gets , nothing it can do but growl .
I wonder if Nelson bends over do you all run over to kiss his butt ?
I guess someone went to Nelson's site to ralley the troops , are you people gay or something ?
I smelt a Nelson fart now I am under his control ?
