what is this? how do you ge t a tune in the mail? how can it help? im about to put lts and 3inch true duals and slp lid on my car, will this work for me. should i just have it dyno tuned?

 

A mail order tune is where you remove the pcm from your car and mail it to a tuner. They put a generic tune for your particular mods and send it back to you. Obviously this isn't the best choice because no two cars are the same, so a mailorder tune is really just a "guess". A dyno tune or finding someone with tuning software that has logging capabilities is your best bet for an accurate tune.

 

thanks!

 

they are a hit or miss deal i got lucky and mine was a hit....

they are also great if there arent any tuners in your area....

 

how much and where do you get them?

 

WAIT4ME is a sponsor here...he was the cheapest i found...I had around 100 bucks shipping and all...and turnaround time was excellent....give him a pm or visit the website...
wait4meperformance.com

 

Wait4me is great to deal with and you can't beat their price. I just got a tune from them. The car redlines faster & it's running smoother overall. I definitely recommend them.

 

what did you pay? whats on your car?

 

its 75 bucks plus 9 bucks to ship it back.....i have full bolt ons gears and spray....

 

that is the ****!!!!!!

 

I would spend the extra cash for a DYNO tune. I know a couple of people who have ran/are running a mail order tune and they all are having problems and are going to get a dyno tune.

 

what is the cost of the average dyno tune?

 

400ish

 

500ish everywhere iv checked

 

It depends where you live. Hey sportsaddict give Nick a call at Newtech down in Hayward. He's a good guy. I wanna say his SD tunes are 500, maf is probably less

 

yea thats where i was planning on going. r u on sacfbodyz

 

MO is if you're going to spend 4 or 500 bones, you might as well buy the HP tuners software and tweak it yourself. That's what I was going to do, but I figured I'd try Wait4me since their price is a lot less and the tune comes with free updates.

 

Problem is if you dont know what your doin you can really mess your car up, might as well fork over the money and pay someone who knows what there doin and get it right, just make sure you have all your mods done that you wanna do for awhile, and I know a few places that once you pay the 4-5 hundred they only charge 150 bux for a retune, gotta pay to play

 

No. Im on norcal-ls1 sometimes. I need to start going to sacfodyz though.

 

If your going that route you also need a wideband. To do it right.
