I have heard nothing but good things about Madz28 i know a guy who got his stroker tune from him and he said it was really good. I will be getting my tune from him this spring as well. I am pumped to drive my car again!!! It wasn't running properly since july and it has been pretty much parked since august

Bryn Herter at PCMforLess has done all my tuning now for about four years and every mail-order tune has been spot-on.

Got mine done by Bryan also. I had all my mods done at once. The car went from bone stock to cammed, rockers, gears, headers, injectors, TB, Mezierre, pullies and converter. THe PC was sent to Bryan early on and was waiting on the side. Installed everything and with PCMforLess, the car fired on the first crank and hasn't been touched since.

had my car dyno tuned locally and made 38x RWHP and 35x RWTQ and the curves looked kinda funny with dips in them. Searched everthing and found no problems (maf, plug wires, exhaust leaks, etc, etc) so I had PCMforless do a mail order tune and the car made 413/420 on the same dyno.

Bryan came down here a few moinths later for a dyno tuning session and I ahd him dyno tune it and made 434/452 on the same dyno. Main gains were from dyno tune over his mail order tune was disabling knock module since it was pulling 5-9 degrees evrywhere.

I have had good luck with his tune on my car and others have also.

That's what I went with for my bolt on tune, not too mention the guy is an hour away from me lol. Ion knows his stuff. For bolt on cars both choices are great actually.

Since your in IL give Madtuner.com (madz28) a call. Also he's probably going to be faster on shipping considering your location.

Bryan @ pcmforless is hands down the man. Great customer services, also has an answer for my questions, and will go above and beyond the call of duty. Never used Ion, but hear many good things about him also.

Looking at your sig, I would think about swapping those edelbrock shorties for some long tubes. Just my o2.
Yeah, I really want to redo the whole exhaust this summer. I just know, for sure, that I'm going to be doing a new catback setup this summer. I probably won't get to swapping out the shorties until next winter or so. Then, I plan on going with some Pacesetter LT's. These headers on it now are a PITA. I have an exhaust leak right at the connection from the passenger side header to the Y-pipe and I can't get a wrench up to keep the bolt still, while I tighten the nut on it. So, my car sounds like complete *** and I can't do anything about it because I can't tighten the loose connection.

Madz28 for me, Ive had 4 tunes from him and not a single problem. At only $25 for the retunes Im very happy. He has been dead on every time.

Yeah, I think I probably will. I didn't realize that a retune is only $25 either. That's half the price of a retune for PCM4Less.

Also, if I have them tune a PCM and do the exchange, I'll have to have an LT4 Knock Module to put into it, if I get it tuned for an LT4 Knock Module, right? Or do I even need one since, in the description, it says that they tune to desensitize knock?
