I plan to put a 5.3L 4L60E with a Z06 type cam and headers into a 64 chevelle. After researching EFI Live and HP Tuners I have come to two conclusions.
1. Both software suites are complicated at first glance.
2. Both software suites are relatively expensive.
Should I just send the PCM out to someone like wait4me for a tune? Would like to do this to save cost.
Can someone get a tune right with the above info (and tire/gear size) or will I possibly have to send it back a time or two before the tune is right?

If you buy the software, it's a big learning curve so be prepared.
I've been playing with HP TUners on n off for about 6 months and just familiar with the tables charts n stuff.
I seen a video between EFI and HP before I purchased. For me, seemed like the menus are easier on HP Tuners.
I've heard FROST does great mail order tunes and that would be a more cost effective solution. If you not planning on changing things down the road, that might be your best choice.
