Arrow E-mail tune - who does it best?

Just finished the build, and the **** won't idle over 500RPM.

Stock stall (very temporary), CC503, 1.6 pro mags, DIY ported 374s, match ported intake, stock gears (for now), long tubes and Hooker aerochamber.

I also received my OBD1 cable today, and want to get a tune to use so I can get some miles on the clock and have fun with the car.

So, who have you guys tried? Who got the tune closest to a dyno tune?

I must say I have heard nothing but great things about Solomon, but would like more feedback from you guys before I put down an order for an e-mail tune.

Hey:

Madtuner http://www.madz28.com/

And

Pcmforless http://www.pcmforless.com/

Both are very good at this, I have used both and currently have a Madtuner tune in the car now. It was spot on.

PCMforless.com. I've been using them for 8 years now with nothing but success. I'll continue to use them in the future.

Everyone has an opinion. Lots of very good tuners out here, especially with a very common camshaft etc you.
Pcmforless has dealt with me and many of my friends, and everyone has been happy, with many miles etc on them.
Madtune has a great rep too.
A search or poll would help ease the pain of people getting on you.

I like to hear from fellow members their own experience, rather than just suggest a tuner without a valid reason. Some will just suggest one for the heck of it.

I cranked it up today, let it run for some time and it did idle at 750 and smooth, loping really nicely. Will take it out for a drive later, break in my new brake pads.

I'm going to contact all tuners and see who can give me the best package.

I've had Bryan at PCMforless tune mine twice. Once at his house,he's close to me,and once on a dyno at local shop,I was pleased with both tunes & would have him do it again.

What was the actual AF? Mine is actually set up to hang between 16-18 at idle, drops to 14.7 at cruise, 12.0 at wot. Most people see the 18 on mine and freak bit but it's completely safe from what I've been told.

I just fired up my Lt1 with 52mmtb, 30#SVO injectors, heads, cam, etc, and it fired on the first turn. Great work from PCM4less. I'll post a dyno sheet as soon as its broken in.

I've Gotten one tune from Bryan at pcmforless. I feel that it runs a tick rich (but its a mail order tune id expect them to play it safe)

Overall Im VERY happy with the tune, its spot on and is one of the fastest hotcam cars around.

I've been running PCMforless tunes for over 7 years.... good stuff.

Although this year I will hopefully get this thing tuned on a dyno.
