Good point V. All tuners are a little soft on a mail order tune vs. a live tune. Sure, the mail order is leaps and bounds better than a stock PCM, but there is still a lot more left on the tuning tables with a mail order. The tuner has to be careful about tuning certain things that may end up harming your engine/transmission. A mail order is the first step above a stock PCM. And a live tune is the best thing for ya...
I have a wait4me tune and it sucks it did nothing for my truck and i mean nothing only thing this tune did was take away my speed limiter...
To be honest my truck is a 05 and i got beat by a 2000 and mine has 130000 miles less!
So NO! i think its a crap une and a waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on! Be honest! :LOL:
I have a Wait 4 Me tune from Jesse in my 02 ECSB Z71 Silverado(5.3) and I have been happy with the changes. I must admit I haven't had anyone else tune to compare it to,BUT it was considerably different from stock and the price was very reasonable. Does anyone know where I can get a street tune in the Massachusetts/New Hampshire area, hopefully without needing to take out a second mortgage on my home?
Performance Dyno in Concord NH does dyno tunes, the guys name is Pete and his shop number is 603-226-FAST I believe its 450 for a custom tune on the dyno, not bad considering that kind of dyno time is usually ~100 dollars anyway.Quote:

$200 for license? :eek: I thought you had HPTuners software. Individual vehicles are $100/2 credits. A few are 3 credits. You must be talking because of 2 or 3 bar and SD tuning license fees in addition to the vehicle fee. :thumb:
Who kicked this dead horse?
the name "wait 4 me" would have to be one of the the worst choices possible in anything to do with shipping parts or racing. :spit:
