Default Mail order tune?

I'm thinking about doing LT and y soon and got a couple qu's about mail order tunes.

Would a mail order tune sort out:

Deleted AIR and O2 sims
Set fan to operate at lower temperatures (I have FTRA)
Optimized Air/Fuel Delivery along with Spark Advance
Raise RPM Limitation
Optimize shift points and increase firmness of shifts (Automatic Transmission)

I know a dyno tune would be better and more presice, but would a mail order tune come close?

Thanks for your advise.

agreed, your going to be losing power up top unless you have heads/cam that really likes it up top.

Thanks for all the replys.
And I will leave RPM limitation as is.

Next question is where do I send it?

I guess you are implying these guys?
pcm for less. or Brian will be glad to do it for you
Could you be more specific please?

Many thanks,

Paul

I have had Mail Order tune's from PCMforless and MadTuner without any problems. Dyno tuning is the only true way to go if your looking for peak performance but will cost somewhere around $500 +-.
