Hi, I am debating between a westers and a nelson tune.

With the nelson, can I send it back at a reduced fee if I add more mods and want a new tune job?

Will the nelson delete/reduce torque management?

What kind of power gains will I see with the mods in my sig.

You bet. I am actually getting my 4th tuned PCM from Nelson for different updates and things I have added to my truck. Well worth the money for what Nelson gives you.

I just installed a Westers tune yesterday and I am totaly amazed at the power it gave me at all ranges and my truck just seems to drive alot better and it only ets better! I hear nothing but great things about both Westers and Nelsons tunes! I live about 6-7 hours away from were Nelson does the tuning and I chose to order from Westers which is in Canada and the reasons are as follows Lyndon Wester is really cool and patient with you when talking with you! The other reason and I dont think Nelson does this but I may be wrong if I ever get another truck or car yeah right whatever I payed for the original tune I would get as a credit toward my next PCM tune! Westers and Nelson both give you free upgrades but you have to pay shipping and it is a little more to ship to canada rather than to San Antonio but I figured since I get $595 off my next trucks tune it was worth it! In all reality you cant go wrong with either and some people say that Westers is conservative and they can be if you want that but if you want performance they can give you that to! Good lcuk and either way youll be happy!

uh yes you are wrong. nelsons does the same thing.and the nelson tunes are better. more power,and all you pay is shipping for upgrades.

$595.00 WOW!!! My nelson only cost $300.00 in the G.P. and he paid shipping. I could think of alot of other stuff I could buy with that extra $295.00. And it's done in the U.S.

Wow $ 595.00 that's alot for a tune. The other bad think too is that you have to ship it back to Canada. But all to there own..

What makes nelson tunes better than Wester tunes???? And I dont see anywhere on the nelson website were it says that if you get a new vehicle that the original price you paid for your tune would be credited towards your new vehicles tune???? Unless it is something that is told to customers after they make a purchase? And that it self is worth 2-300 more dollars if Nelson doesnt do that! I've heard awesome things about Nelson tunes but unless you actually go and do a live tune what could he possibly do different??

The newer the vehicle, the more expensive the tunes are.
