NOTE: NOT "hating" just referencing the facts as the folks from PCM4L have told me.
They still do mail order LT1 tunning; but, even though they have a location here in NC with a Dyno (shared with Tick Performance), they will not Dyno tune LT1 cars anymore.
Having said that, they've mail order tuned my car; but I'm still looking for someone willing to strap it to the rollers...
Given the fact that I have not used anyone else to compare Tune "A" to Tune "B", I can only say that every time I've rec'd a new mail order tune, the car has run quicker. Has it run at it's new absolute "peak" given my new mods? That question, sadly, I cannot answer.

It's almost the same price to tune it yourself obd2. If you have an obd1 car, it IS CHEAPER.
That said, all mail tuners are going to be about the same. A crap shoot for your car. For every satisfied customer, there's an unsatisfied one. That and without at least scanning your own car, you have no idea how far off your tune may or may not be.
If you are comfortable with a computer and know how to read, learning to tune your car is fun, easy, rewarding, satisfying and you know it's done right and your car will be quicker in the end.

I had a tune done by them. The car ran well. Recently I had some issues with the car and emailed Bryan at pcmforless to ask his opinion. I got no response which turned me off as a customer.

Agreed, never got mine right with them, the more I called the more attitude I got in return as they defended their tune and blamed my setup. To be fair I really needed a dyno tune and was beyond what a mail order tune could do, Ed Wright took care of that! I didn't change anything on my car which tells me it wasn't the tune. Ed does mail order tunes as well. I've not used Mo but I hear nothing but good things about him and his customer service.

Assuming you have a laptop:
ALDL Cable $80 (moates.net)
TunerCat $70
Datamaster Free for 1st 20 logs, then $100
Email Tune by Solomon $70 with 3 re-tunes. Customer service is great. You send him all your info, he emails a tune, you load it and datalog it and send him the datalog, he retunes if needed.
Then you can datalog it anytime for trouble codes or troubleshooting problems, change your shiftpoints (if auto), change speedo for tire or gear changes, charge your buddy to do the same, etc.
Anyone modding these cars, really needs a way to datalog.
This only works for 94-95 cars.
