I'm seriously considering doing a "mail order tune" for my combo below BUT I'm taking the TR220 out and installing a TR236. I know a cam that big won't run on my stock programming. My questions are.. what's your combo, who did your mail tune, are you happy with it. And if you got dyno tuned after a mail tune.. did you pick up any power over the mail tune.
Thanks

i did the mail order tune and it was pretty good. But its not where it should be. I would save your money and go to a dyno.

Why not just get it dyno tuned, it isnt that much more expensive......and allot better IMHO, I did a mail order tune once, and its a pain in the *** when it isnt right...

I've done an email tune through Team ZR1 that I'm pretty happy with. I make a recording with my EASE program, send it to JR and he modify's my LS1 Edit file, which then I load with my own computer. He done amazing things for the driveability of my car, even helped me diagnose some problems just through recordings and phoncon.

It's hard for some people to get a dyno tuned done. I know it's the best way but when the nearest shop is 5hrs away it makes it tough. I bought edit hoping to do my own tuning but I may opt for mail tuning.
