Default Who offers the best mail order tune for stock LS1?

Did a search but couldn't really find the answer I was looking for.

I've got an '01 WS6 T/A with a 6-speed that's completely stock save for an SLP lid.

Who offers the best mail order tune for an application like this? What types of gains in overall drivability and performance can I expect?

Looking more for direct experience, but general comments are welcome.

Thanks!

No, different PCM and different pin outs.

Damn, I wont have the camaro for a week then if I send the PCM out. Would I get similar results if I take it to a Speed shop for a street tune? It's 250 for a street tune.

Honestly, if the ONLY mod is a lid, I'd save your money on a tune till you get more mods like LT Headers.

With a lid and LT Headers expect around 345 RWHP when fully tuned.

am thinking about getting him to mail order my tune as well just dont have the funds right now...i already have every part listed on a seperate page..so it shouldnt be too hard..and since i am not running a turbo or supercharger ie: no forced induction..i dont see it being a problem for him to tune the car..however i would like to run a 200 shot on top so i dont know how that would incorporate into the tune...

I was in the process of searching when I found this thread. I am doing a H/C/I swap in the next month and I am going to need a mail order tune. I know a dyno tune is better but I would have to drive 4+ hours to get to someone. I will have to check out Frost.
