i have heard off and on about pcmforless. couple buddies of mine had there pcm tuned from them and they idle at 1.5k. me if you in ohio i would get a dyno tune. a little more pricy but def worth it

Find someone that does a street tune. Dyno tunes aren't real world conditions.

I highly recommend Ion(MadZ28). He's been my tuner since my first heads/cam swap back in 2005. I will be getting a full dyno tuning for my 24X LS pcm conversion from him in the next month or so.

He did my 24x tune and I'm very satisfied.

Another very satisfied customer from Ion, MadZ here. My camaro ran great and he took care of all my emission related matters (lack of) for me living in Jersey, just saying. No AIR, EGR, CATs or rear 02's.

Ion(MadZ28) is the man does all my tuning on the dyno. I would definitely recommend him.

Ion tuned mine as well. I did the E-mail tune. Bought a cable and he sent links to download software for uploading and data logging. Easy as pie. Fixed all the problems I had with another guy. Runs great, doesn't foul out plugs and O2's any more. I have had the same plugs in it since his tune went in and they are still clean like they should be. Answered every ridicules question I had. lol Email tune was 75 and updates are like 25. can't beat that especially when it works.

Lol @ the people who think gear changes will pick you up .5 in the 1/4...


However, Ion is legit, and most of your gains you will see will be from the tune, and not the gears.

I picked up over a .5 sec with a gear change, thats not unreasonable at all going from 273's to 410.

Ion did a few tunes for me back in the day when I had the 93 pcm. Could not be happier with his services. Really nice guy too!
