Tuning WAR

i cant see how 500 bucks is alot of money, especially when NO other mod gives u the bang for the buck of a custom tune. put this in perspective... say u have an engine that is worth a couple thousand dollars, 100 people r telling u to spend a little more, and get what ur moneys worth outta the engine. anyone who would say "id rather have the 150 dollar tune" is crazy, and i know where my tune will come from, Allen Nelson. I dont have a tune from him yet, but when uve got all these people vouching for him, and unlimited re-tunes, why wouldnt u spend a lil more for a lot more power! idiots will be idiots tho. :bash:

Hehe..I put my flame suit on, waded though all the BS, and then added my two cents.... :doh:

It boils down to someone who has nearly a stock engine which Jesse will tune on the cheap vs. someone who has &#036;10,000-&#036;20,000 in an engine who needs a serious tune. Jesse will not tune a blown engine. He has turned several people down in our truck club. When you get a "Big Boy" toy you need a "Big Boy" tuner. Allen is the man......

how old is jesse and how long has he been in the tuning buisness anyway?

:imwstupid: That hit the nail on the head...right there. Before I got serious with the truck, I had a W4M tune. It was a noticable improvement in performance. Deal was, when I started thinking about the turbo and called Jese, it was no biskit&#33; :grr: &#39;Can&#39;t/won&#39;t tune a 5.3 for a turbo.&#39;

STS dealers recommended a Nelson tune. I got it and haven&#39;t looked back. :thumb:

No I have a few memebers that want me to download their tunes and look at them, but my work schedule right now ( 70-80 hrs/6 days) keeps me away from GTG&#39;s right now.....

Send them on, I will take a peek at them.......BTW...send the matching logs...that should be a hoot...

Email them to rickmess@knology.net

When I did this I used Tunercat,did not have HPTuners at the time.Do you have TC.
I have HPtuners now but it is a .cal file,can you convert it?

When I decided to hoop up my trucks, saw a lot of info around.
I knew that HP tuners was the way to go. I bought it, but in 2 weeks all I could do was get a crappy Idle.

Then one user on LS1tech told me about Nelson. I was hatting my truck at that point. then on CHP I read a tune for a SS truck. PCM for lees did the live tuning and NELSON did a mail tuning. For my surprise, NELSON was 1/10th up on the 1/4 mile than the live tuning.

That Speaks TONS about an expert. Since then I had like 14 tunes from NELSON and keep on going for more, cause in every tune the truck keep getting better and better, just email tunes that is.
