Default Best tune?

Who has the best tune?

Someone told me to check out pcmforless, but I need some opinions.

You've had all three? Impressive to have three different tuners on a cam only car, parrot.

best bet is to get a local dyno tune from a reputable tuner who has experience in LT1s but many people have had good luck with the mail order tunes on mild-to-wild setups. not something I would personally opt for but I also have one of the best LT/LS tuners in the nation right in my backyard.

You have neglected to tell us what you have.

I agree on the local dyno tune if possible (WITH LT1 experience!).
If not, I'd go with pcmforless for the mail order tune. They've always kept me at the front of the pack

Dyno if your wallet lets you will always be the best period. But second to that a data log tune is very good and uses real world data to tune the car. Solomon from lt1tuning is very good and tune a few cars for me in the past. every set-up is diffrent and no mail order tune can predict a problem like idle surge or stall problems that occure from camming lt1's.
