i got a dynotune and a little tweaking to improve drivability around town from pcm4less for $200 + dyno pulls when bryan came to clearwater a couple years ago. i would use them again.

there are so many threads like this, w/ a simple search you can see they are both good but a dyno tune is best.

Dyno tune and real time tune are 2 different things. Craig Moates does make a real time tuner though if you want to pay for it, but not necessary for a dyno tune.

A dyno is for measuring the results of changes. Dyno, log, tune, re dyno, repeat.

Bryan is more than just a tuner. He is a real motor head, and honest man. That being said, he has invited me into his home many times and has gone far above the call of duty with my vehicles. Very easy to talk to and explains exactly what he is doing. I have had both mail orders and dyno tunes from him. I have no complaints on either. Very pleased with his work. Everyone around the area uses Bryan. He has tuned alot of fast cars in his day. So +1 for PCMFORLESS.

lol true, but theres been allot more people who have actually tried both madz28 & pcm4less and have useful feedback, but their responses are lost in the database... except to those that know how to use the search button

You can't go wrong with either but I have had 3 tunes from Ion aka MadZ and have been very happy each time. But again you can't go wrong with either.

I just helped a friend of mine with his head/cam swap on his 95 Z. He got a mail order tune from MadZ28 and neither one of us are impressed with it or the customer service. I am not bashing anyone. Just putting it out there.
