Now i just have to figure out whether i want to go with pcmforless or madz28? I was reading the thread about pcmforless and alot people have had bad experiences aswell as good but i havent heard anything about madz28?? Any idea or what kind of numbers i would be looking at either?

Get custom or you run the risk of getting a pcm thats not for your car as I did. I ordered a mail order tune for a stock motor p1sc setup, and ended up with a na tune pcm commanding 38degrees timing. That is no good, but im sure this was a rare occasion as I always get the weirdest **** that could ever happen.

Yea my luck i would add to those rare occasions as-well! Would i be looking at the same gains though through a custom tune?If i end up going with the custom tune i'm goin to go with thunderracing.com closest to me and very respectable as you can see!

I just have to get some cash and make time to take the ride up there!It will prob be within the next 2 weeks b/c its not my dd but i'm anxious to get it tuned and running perfect so i will post once it is tuned and most likely will take it to the track so i can get my first times as soon as its tuned as-well!!!
