I've met Bryan personally, he's a good guy and knows what he's doing. If I ever needed anything he was good about fixing it and making it right. No problems with PCMForLess here!

Hey does anyone know what software Bryan uses to tune PCMs? i'm looking into trying to learn how to tune and wanted to get an initial tune from him and then tweak it a little more.

I used pcm4less for my hotcam car and was very pleased. For dd is there much of a noticable difference in performance or economy between a bench tune and a dyno tune.

economy probably not. performance yes. you will almost always get more out of a dyno tune because every car is different. The difference will be less with less significant mods though.
