frost tune.....but on a stock lq4 Hi I am planning on buying HP tuners pro in under 3 months but all this talk about Frost tunes has me interested. Aside from a 2900 stall torque converter in the th400, 2.5" catless dual exhaust with an x-pipe, and 3.5" intake tubing going to a cone filter in my fender well....this 2005 lq4 6.0 is stock (flipped truck exhaust manifolds). I truly won't utilize all the benefits of Hp tuners for at least 2 years (when I go turbo) so a decent tune will keep me happy in the meantime to max out the current setup.
On the Frost tunes website it says 99-02 ls but there isn't a specific mail order selection for a 2005 gen III truck engine that's swapped(selection says NOT FOR SWAPS). I'm confused by this as some mail order tunes say $150 for the trucks and $200 for 99-02 ls1. So is a 2005 lq4 covered as well?
Let's say my pcm is covered, would it be worth it with my current setup gain wise or should I just buy hp tuners pro in a few months and slowly learn?

Frost does great for the money!!
Tuning is harder than what most people thinks..... Every combo is different. If I was in your shoes I'll go to black bear for a tune. They have different tuning options but some of they options dig really deep into the computer to unleash the max performance and drivability.

I'm just unsure as I've done something similar with uprev/osiris in the past when I was a nissan owner. Thank you.
I'm located in Canada so the email tune might be a better option as shipping gets pricey.
