It depends how ell the pcmforless tune is that you have. I personally gained 15rwhp/17rwtq over my pcmforless tune from 2 years ago. He has gotten alot better since then.

Default pcm for less

i like his service but yesterday i got my rockerarms adjusted and it pull's allot better, my rpm went all the way to 7000K RPM i couldn't believe it and when it hit 7k the car would'nt go any where kind of like hitting rev limiter on an m-6. my rpm is programmed by pcm to shift at 6300k is something wrong ? the mechanic also said that my shift points were OFF.

Sounds like shiftpoints are off. A retune should fix it.

Ram Air,
Send me an email with your first and last name and I can look your file over for you and make any adjustments you would need. It would just cost shipping if something is not right and needs adjsuted. Email will work best as I don't make it to the boards often.
Bryan

Mine is set at 6500rpm for my manual. Peak power for me came in at 6k, so i'll shift at 6.2k.

Default bryan

hey i spoke with you yesterday through the phone and you explained to me that it could be my tranny going out if it's from 2-3 shift so i been doing allot full throttle runs and everything seems to be shifting fine, thanks

i'll be contacting you later on programing for my 3:73 gears thanks bryan.

i think the tranny was probably pretty hot when shifted at 7k rpm so i will be throwing a tranny cooler in sometime i guess that tci street fighter torque converter seems to be making the tranny run hot compared to stock.


car seem's like it just woke up or something after the rockerarm adjustment feel's like i gained 20-30 horses atleast.

thanks on the reply's guys,
