Ed is the man..Search around and you'll see. He's also tuned a few of the LTx record holders.

No, he hasn't done that for a while. He always answers my email, daily. Even the real small questions. I've also spoken to him on the phone, very smart person.

PCMforless! I'll never go anywhere else. Bryan's mail tune was just about dead nuts on. He came to town and did a dyno tune for me a few months later and there was hardly anything to change. He was able to give about 10 more lbs of torque, but the hp was already pretty well maxed out. Just make sure you fill out his worksheet on the web site as complete as possible. No information is too much. Bryan is also very personable and answered all my dumb questions patiently.

i did not vote simply because i have had all of my tunes done by Ion and i do not feel it would be right since i personally have not had other experiences with any other tuners. from what i have seen and heard they all do a very nice job and occasionally you will hear of a post that a tuner did not do as expected but hey they are only as good as the proper info that they are given!

I would defiantly recommend against PCMforless. Back when I was running the gm846 and my old heads my tune had 43 degrees of timing in it at WOT with one of their tunes. After a dyno tune it ended up with ~37 degrees on that setup with huge gaines across the board. (30+ ft lbs of torque down low)

I had a tune done by Ion, on the dyno I only picked up 6rwhp peak. Car ran and drove great, hell I even had it back in my hands faster than estimated.

another for trifecta, again awsome customer service and no need to pull pcm. My car gained (in BAD air) .1 and 2.5 mph and the drivability with the 1.6's that I had put on that I had lost, I gained back, car runs great and pulls really good now in the upper r's in third, fourth, and fifth.

Always heard good about Ed Wright. I have a PCMforless mailorder with my heads/cam car and it is awesome. Will be having Bryan dyno tune the car this summer. I once had MadZ28 tune my old LT1 with boltons and he really f***** it up. Heard only good from him though so could of been a 1 in a 100 thing but still.
