I had Frost do mine and it ran well. Today my car was dyno-tuned. It feels more crisp with throttle response and runs more smooth, might be my imagination. Dyno-tuning probably wasn't necessary to do for a bolt on stock cammed car, but it can't hurt.

my vote for frost too! Great customer service too. Just give him some time to get back with you if you email him, he gets pretty swamped at times so he might take some time to get back to you. not like a month or anything but, a couple of days usually. just putting that out there for those "i want it now" customers that get butt hurt when a someone doesnt get back to your emails the same day you send it lol
Gonna send mine PCM back to him as soon as i get my turbo on the car.

If you send your PCM to Frost for a tune and need changes later will he mail HP Tuners files to those that have access to HP tuners?

I do it on a case by case basis.... some will need support that goes past a simple update/flash.

Email tuning means having to setup and send multiple cfg files for the scanner (and crap what do you do when the last car you hooked up to with the scanner is a 2012 CTS-V but now I need to make a cfg file for a 98 F-body with a whole different PID list but my scanner is locked into the 2012 still) and multiple files to load and then specific logging steps and criteria with the attached cfg files. I have to teach every new tuner how to setup their wideband (I'm over this one completely ) and I have to make updates and type specific instructions in between each update for what to load, how to scan, etc. Just typing out the step by steps (that vary from car to car so a form letter is hard) typically means that tuning a single car fully through email takes 2-3x as long as tuning it in person at best (really). On the flip side, thats what everyone wants, but they only want to pay what the one-shot mail order costs

Doing it over email like a mail order (one shot process) is definitely do-able though.

nice, good to know.
im definitly sending the PCM first, then do a little smoothing here and there in areas that might need it and then go from there.

Hey Frost,

I tried emailing you off the site a week or so back looking for a tune on a geniv 5.3 with an E38 ecm. Are you tuning these yet? There are a few guys in the conversion section looking for geniv mail order tunes. I looked through your site and read the FAQs, it looks like you're tuning the corvettes and camaro's with geniv engines but no mention of trucks/suv's. Anyhow i've got a 2006 LH6 5.3L with the DOD and a 4L60E with T42, is this something that you're able to tune?

Heres a link to a thread in conversions & hybrids that I was mentioning:

Yes I too sent an email a couple days ago , have not heard back. Gen IV trucks is not on the mail order list , so I will assume he does not do those. But Gen IV trucks are on his Full tune list.
