Default Madtuner to ditch LT1 tuning?

So just went on the site to see about a tune for my build and at the top of the LT1 section is "NOTICE: We will be discontinuing LT1 tuning on 09/01/2014."
Just a heads up

I'm running one of his tunes. It's just a matter of time til we're in the same boat as TPI owners. Eventually it'll be 24X or nothing.

I've had a couple of tunes done by MT. I was thinking either 24x or cut my loses and move on to the ls engines.

Right there with ya at this point. Guess I'll give it one last shot before he stops tuning them.

My Dad, brother, and myself had always used pcmforless and was kind of hit or miss. We had some cars that ran great and some that just underperformed. My 94 firehawk that is now my brother's I had tuned by Ion. I was amazed at what a mild bolt on car with a stall felt like with his tune. We did some LE1 heads and a cc503 cam and had it retuned and I can't believe what it feels like. It runs harder than I would have expected and quite frankly a little harder than it should for what little it has. So it bums me out he won't be doing it anymore. We are very happy with his work. I guess sometimes you gotta move on to bigger and better things.

Ion did the mail order tune for my cam and bolt-on car. I've been impressed with the tune and I hate that he's getting out of LT1's!

My first tune was a mess by someone other then Ion. When I told him I wanted and Email tune he had it to me in a week V's 2 from the other guy. The tune was spot on. It ran great and I plan on having him do this tune as well. I cant wiat to see how this one runs.
