Default Mail Order Tune?

Whats your guys opinion on mail order tunes? I have only Long tubes and want to tune out the rear o2s and some other small things, but i dont want to spend all the money on a dyno tune even know thats the better way to go. My question is will it make a performance difference and where should i order it?

First of all do you have a stick shift or an auto? Mail Order tunes aren't bad depending on who you go through. They can definitely wake the car up and make the tune more reasonable for the mods you have.

I thought wait4me was a vendor, but I don't see him listed. Either way he continues a lot to the forums. His name is Jesse.

try to find a nice checklist so you dont miss anything. a mail order tune should get you close. get the A/F about 13.0:1 goodluck.

I had my M6 dyno tuned by Steve Williams (aka Frost). Found him here on the website and his shop was only an hour away from me. He's quite possibly the best on the east coast for tuning Fbodys, vettes and GTO's etc...But he also does mail order tunes as well. His website is www.Tunedbyfrost.com
