Ready for Tune

Stocklook · October 28, 2004

Well I'm ready for a Tune, what advice do you guy's have? I'm looking at a Nelson ($490) is big bucks to me. all the reviews are great on his tunes,

are all tunes basically the same. what are the Differences I've seen prices from $250 - 600

be sure to read all the fine print. nelson offers upgrades for the life of the truck as long as you own it for the price of shipping. some tune consevative. others charge for updates after so much time.

Thanks, Everybody seems to like Nelson's Tunes, and I have talked to different people about there tune's and allen seems to be the most knowledgeable in what is the best for a daily driver.

The more I think about it I might have to get new tires, these factory wrangler ST's are the worst tires on the market as most Goodyears after half life, don't get me worng they good for dry roads, but when the road is wet watchout for the bar dich.

but this TQM is driving me nuts, and unsafe when pulling out in traffic. Here is a thought if I get the Tune before the tires and the road is wet it would be the same, I push the gas and no go! but this time the tires will be spinning, LOL LOL

Go with Westers, it has really made a noticeable SOTP difference, and I can now get scratch from a start . Pulls hard and strong. Great people to deal with also.

How do you get in touch with Wester's and Nelson?

Chevyfreek · November 4, 2004

Do a search for either on yahoo and you should be all set...

Thanks. Should have tried that first.

Give Bryan at PCMforLess a call also. His customer service is excellent and so is the price, especially if you send back the core. He's doing something custom for me to optimize the performance of my new camshaft and also fix the false knock problem I'm having due to my 99 PCM's interpretation of the valvetrain harmonics. You can check out the website to the left, he's one of our sponsors.

dont do a westers tune unless you want a conservative tune.

I doubt that Wester's would be considered conservative. I have the 93 octane tune, no torque managemnt, RPM shift points raised, no speed limiter, timing increased etc etc etc. Either you have some bad experience with him or are way beyond my knowledge level about the difference. He did a great job on mine.

02denali · November 8, 2004

yes i have had personal experience with his tunes. if you do a search and read posts from before he says it himself.

My 93 Octane Hot Tune works great on my 6.0L HD... I would not call it conservative, but I will say that Lyndon is concerned about the vehicles he tunes for and I see nothing wrong with that; in running a business you have to be. Lyndon can tune as radical as you want. You just have to let him know what you want and what mods you have done. No matter what though, a custom tune works wonders for these trucks...

What about the over the counter programmers like spe or super chips? Fore some people that dont want to send their pcm out or that want to be able to change their tune at will..
