Here's my situation: I have a 98 T/A with a bolt ons, stall tune from PCMforless. I am about to do a cam swap and need to retune. A reflash is like $100.
I also have access to my cousins efilive account and could either attempt to tune it myself or have pcmforless email me their tune and then load their tune with the efilive account.
At first I wanted PCMFORLESS to just email me their tune, but then after I talked to the guy there he said I would most likely fry my PCM if I went that route. Is that a common problem?
So my question is, what should I do? Is tuning for a cam swap difficult? (cam is 224TR 112 lsa .581 lift comp cams) And if not, would I still have the same problem of frying the PCM if I attempted to do that?
So basically I could send my PCM off and have them retune it and be out a car for a few days unless I want to pay for next day shipping either way. (I have a street bike I can ride, but thats weather dependent)
Have them email me the tune and I load it myself and run the alleged risk of frying the PCM
Tune it myself for free since I have an EFIlife account I can use with credits.
What should I do?

Thanks, he said the last three 98's that tried it on their own had failed flashed and fried their computers and that there are basically no 98 pcms left and that I would be SOL if mine went
