Default Best place for mail order tune?

Coming up on finishing my build and need to send out my pcm to be tuned cause no one locally really messes with lt1's that I know of. It's a stock lt1 rebuild with cc503 cam, and supporting mods, lightly ported stock heads and port matched intake and bolt ons, pacesetters w/ ory, bbk throttle body the usual ****.

Any input is appreciated on who can give me the most accurate tune for my setup without actual tuning in the car.

Lots of guys do tuning. I prefer PCMforless. Others prefer Madtuner.

Some guys will suggest learning to do it yourself as well but in your case I'm not sure that's a worthwhile investment.

Hope the mods dont get mad if I post a non-sponsored link.



But I sent mine to http://www.lt1pcmtuning.com/, he had the cheapest price I could find, and a good rep. Theres many places you can send it, or get a tuner and tune it however, whenever you want.

I've used both mad tuner and lt1pcmtuning. Personally ill probably be using Lt1pcmtuning for now on. Mad tuner did the tune well just stopped emailing customers (me) when they don't consider it worth their time I guess.

+1 Solomon / lt1pcmtuning great guy.

Are you serious about those 10s full weight or are you joking?
