Ive got a Madz28 tune and love it! Huge improvement. As long as you go with an experienced email tuner such as madz28 or pcmforless you should be good. They both have proven records with thousands of people to back them. Go on madz28.coms websight and read the testimonials and you will see peoples results. I know a guy with a full bolt on 94 z28 that had a madz28 tune and brought it to a shop for a full dyno tune. The tuner was impressed and only managed 3 more HP.

I had a madZ28 tune on one of my LT1 cars he did a good job on it. It was a cam bolt on car and it drove almost like stock, started ever time even in the winter, drove with almost no surge at all, occansionally it would surge in 1st gear in a parking lot. The only problem I had was a hanging idle when rolling, I tried to talk to madz about this and chainging a few other things(I decided on a high limiter and put a colder thermostat in). I mean I wasn't trying to get him to fix it. I was going to pay for another tune. He didn't return many of my emails regarding this. So I talked with Brian from pcmforless and he seemed to really take the time and be genuinely interested. He went out and found some dyno graphs of cars with a cam similar to mine and looked at there tunes and talked with me about it, once I got the PCM from him it 100% perfect. I would say both do quality work and will definalty make your car run better I prefer pcmforless due to its customer service

Thats really weird I have the same problem. I thought it as my IAC. I'll have to talk to him about it. Other than that I'm very pleased with madz28's tune. His tune kept my car streetable and at the same time got me some pretty nice numbers.
