How extensive was the order sheet options (you can only view AFTER paying the $215, which makes me nervous)? Love to hear from some 93Z guys!

By the way, if at all relivent, I am running a 93 Z28 with and LT4 conversion kit, hotcam, l/t's and a custom 3" exhaust back, stock stall and rearend.

Thanks guys, a appreciate any info and stories,

Hey just saw this thread. if you'd like you can see the ordersheet by clicking on ordersheet under the main menu.. Sorry its a bit confusing.

To everyoen else, I really appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks to all!

i have not gotten my motor back together so i cant comment on the performance yet

but i sent mine to bryan, who was very helpfull on the phone(great customer service) and he had the pcm back in the mail the day he got it

and i did a bunch of reasearch before i sent it and most people say his tunes are almost spot on, the best you can do with a mail order

I've talked with Brian a few times and he's very helpful, but I've only had tunes by Alvin since I have a '93. Both Alvin and Brian are standup guys and I have never had any problems, I'll be sending my chip back to Alvin for a few changes when I get my car back up and running.

That's a typ-oh I'm sure. "email" a chip and adapter card?

I'm a loyal Ed Wright (FASTCHIP) fan and customer but Bryan of PCMforLESS is without a doubt a very good tuner in his own wright. And he's an all-around good guy and hot rodding enthusiest (and I hear nothing but good things about Alvin too).

Bryan did the tune for my 95 Caprice about 8 years ago and I am still using the same PCM. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

If you go to the pcmforless homepage you can view the order sheet before you make an order, look down the left hand column for ordersheet and click on it. As far as the tune goes...I had great results at the track .4 gain and .15 in sixty ft times with the much improved throttle response. Great performance upgrade for the 150.00...and BTW pay the extra 18.00 for the upgraded shipping and get it faster.
