What is the current lead time for a Nelson tune for the 99-00 trucks?

pcmforless.com is cheapest. They do it for $260 after core. Free updates for 60 days and then $50 there after. Brian Herter is the programmer there, known for his impala SS lt1 tuning.

one thing to note, they are all using the same "program" I don't mean tune, but software to create the tune. They all ls1edit.

for your truck i will say nelson. he is local, and can throw your truck on the dyno and tune it. the others can only do a mailorder tune which isnt as comprehensive. westers is good, but he is still a little on the conservative side in his tuning. allen is a one time charge with free updates for any mods you make in the future, no 50$ everytime you want to change. knowing you, something will change on your truck. there are more reasons, but ill just tell you in person :read:

You'd ahve do do a number of updates to justify the increased price if going the mailorder route. If you need two more changes you are still at $360 which is still cheaper.

I will agree a dyno tune is much better if available, and worth paying more for.

PCMforless also charges you for shipping for your initial tune and every time you get an update!!! And for some odd reason the newer the truck the more the shipping is. I thought the PCM's weighed the same? :crazy: Sounds like they are trying to make up for their cheaper initial cost with the added costs. Allen ships it to you and you only have to pay to ship your core back to him and free updates with no hidden additional cost. And everyone knows how addicting it is once you start with upgrades and add on's and making your truck faster you can't seem to be able to stop. So you will probably need a couple tunes. :head:

I am looking at getting a tune to, but I would kinda like a ruff estimate for my truck. I also would be unable to take my truck to him, being I live a ways away....
