How exactly was your tune garbage? I'd like to know.

I've been using him for 9 years now with nothing but good experiences.

I didn't want to go there, but I have also had bad luck with PCMFORLESS on more then one occasion. Not to say he wouldn't do you a good job..just hope you have better luck with him then I did.

My first tune from him ran realy rich..I spoke to him about it and he requested me to send it back. So I did. After I got it back the car ran even worse so I had it dyno tuned and the tuner told me 3 out of the 5 things that were supposed to be tuned on my pcm were not and the tune was more the less crap. Which then lead me to believe he didn't even touch my pcm the second time around.

Default pcm forless

I just got my car started 2 weeks ago with new engine, new tranny, 2500 stall , cc503 , new opti, jegs 8.5mm wires , ngk iridiums well you get the point everyting new down to the crank sensor and ignition module. Im suspection my tune is off from pcm for less. It makes my eyes tear when i get close to my Borla Exhaust, running pig rich. I took a trip to south texas and was only averaging 20 to 22 mpg on freeway. Just wait and have Performance shop tune it for you. I know its gonna be like 350-450 dollars but well worth it in the end. Good luck

www.fastchip.com <- Ed is THE MAN when it comes to tuning an LT1, mail order or local.
He is a little more expensive than some of the others though.
He's been doing my stuff for 10 years.

www.madz28.com <- Ion does a good job (at a good price) on bolt-on cars,
but don't usually want to touch more complex builds by mailorder.
