tune for gas mileage and performance? Wow! I have been reading how people have been getting much better gas milage with a tune. I was wondering, what the tune changes besides timing to get better gas milage? Does timing make the difference? I will include a list of small mods I have done and was wondering if it is even worth tuning a near stock car?

the stock tune is very rich at higher throttle, and some have been known to see a MPG improvement with headers and a CAI, over those 2 without a tune. But this was on caprices. PCMforLess can do wonders for every aspect of performance.

Well my car is not exatly stock but bryan from PCM4LESS did amazing things with my car. Before i went to him the car was not running that great. Was running OK but not 100%. After the tune the car simply runs like a raped ape now. I met him in person very nice guy and will answer any questions you have for him. It's def. worth getting the tune.

When you upgrade exhaust, headers, intake, etc... they flow more air and seem to run rich. A tune for one would lean it out, runs better and better mpg because it won';t be wasting fuel.

got the tune. it has alot more upper end power. interested to see the gas mileage increase. madz28 did it. I emailed him back though, seems I checked the disable skip shift but it got lost in translation.
