Same here. Also had him dyno-tune it. The mail-order tune was spot-on.

Ya'll ever heard of a Solomon tune? I've got a few tunes on my labtop that came with my car for different sized pills.

I went with Ion for my procharged lt1 setup. He got everything I've found pretty spot on, im really impressed and would defiantly go back to him if needed.

Ontop of the tune being right, his service was 2nd to none. We live a good few time zones apart, and he was available to take calls and help me trouble shoot stuff that I was lost on.

Ion did a very good job on mine when I was heads and cam. I picked up Jet Tuner and an autotap program to make adjustments to help with the nitrous, only thing I changed was the fueling at idle and added 2 degrees of timing. I ran his tune for almost two years.

I went ion then later had it dyno tuned. It was fairly rich but that's expected with a mail order with lots of mods

My car, a few of my friends and old customers have been tuned by ION. He has taken care of me well. I am NOT saying the others won't do the same I have only dealt with Ion though....... You will see many testimonials about others and you can base your decision upon that....

I thank everyone for replies, if you could answer me this: what are the pros and cons to swapping my PCM to a 95? I talked to a local guy here, and he said if i planed to possibly cam the car in the future he recommends converting to a 95 PCM due to it being easier on me. If i planed to keep the car the way it is(basically stock) then he would delete what i needed.

So is it safe to do?

Thanks
