Default Opinions needed....

I want custom tuning but I am not very familiar with who I should send my PCM to and how I go about doing it.

My mods are:

Thunder Racing cam
Hooker LT's 3" ORY
stock MAF ends
intake stuff
4.10 gears
160 stat

How much better will my car idle and run with custom tuning since I have a cam? Most importantly, how accurate are "they" at nailing the air/fuel etc without having the car in house? I imagine I would send them some Atap runs etc. Please give me all the info you can including price, I need to unleash the potential of this bad boy. <img src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" border="0" alt="[guns]" />

Since it's a TR camshaft, they probably have the most experience tuning for it. I would at a minimum give Geoff a call and talk with him about it (your expectations, etc)

The only thing that worries me is sending out my pcm and then if it isn't correct than having to send it back. Tell me about your experience with custom tuning if you sent out your pcm rather than doing it in house.

Chris: I will give Geoff a call today, thanks.

Superchips is in Florida. Maybe they would dyno tune it for you at their shop.
