Default PCM For Less saves the day again!

I just got back from getting my tune updated. I had shift problems at the track and changed heads and intake on the motor. I can't put in words how impressed and happy I am. My car ran so smooth on the way home. It also feels a lot stronger under wot.

I also have to thank Bryan Herter once again for helping out so quickly. In less than a week from sending him an email my tune is done. Now that everything is fixed I can get to the track and get some times for the new motor.

Ha! That wasn't what I was trying to do but it's cool. I'm just really happy with my tune and the service. This is my 4th tune from Bryan/PCM For Less. I won't use anyone else.

Haha, that only happened to him because he couldn't follow the instructions.

Bryan's the only mail order tuner I'll ever use.

What kind of power did she put down or did you just datalog and retune? I wish I had someone else local here to tune my car. The guy here is hard to get ahold of and is unreliable.

Well, I live on the North side of Macclenny but, it's pretty small. I can go from one side to the other in less than 10 min. if I get stopped by red lights. I'm about 30 miles west of Jacksonville. You know someone here?

Didn't have time for a dyno tune this time. I'll have new times posted thursday night. I'll try to get to the dyno before the end of the year.

There is contact info on their page. I would ask them.

I think who they get to do your tune depends on where you are. There's different guys for different areas or something. Maybe ask if you can have Bryan do it. I'm not sure how it works.

well after a few checks with a snap on solus scanner i found that i needed to adjust the hard stop on the t/body. iac was at 150 cold and 99 hot, ouch! was so far off it was setting a code 33 map sensor circuit high. called kevin (who is pretty damn cool to say the least! ) and he confirmed. so after adjusting the hard stop and resetting the tps back to .65volts, shes much much better! the iac is around 25-35 hot now. put a few miles on her and she just got better and better as the pcm relearned. gotta say, have no worries with kevin. his customer service is great and it appears that his tuning is top notch to. the a/f at wot is dead nuts 12.8-13.1. car pulls like a monster all the way to 6800....
