wheatley tuning

I have had tunes from both Nelso and Wheatley. On my previous truck, I was running the Nelson tune, and could not have been happier, period. I know run Wheatley tunes on both my 06 Z71 and my 04 GMC. And could not be happier. Both are great tuners, and I truely hope that none of this turns into pissing matches. Charlie is one of my best friends and I know thats not what he wants.

IMO, if I lived closer to Allen, by far I would run his tune over Charlies, and vice versa. There are only 2 tuners out that that I would run and that is Nelson or Wheatley. My only deal is that with Allen in San Antonio, it was not convenient for me. I work a lot, and with my work, it is near impossible for me to get a day off, we have no paid sick-days, and have to plan my vacations a year in advance basically. So taking a day off to drive up there for a street tune or whatever is just outta the question.

Plus like someone else said, Wheatley doesn't have much experience in tuning Turbo/Supercharger setups. I don't know about wild nitrous setups, but he was tuning his old 97 Silverado for a 125 shot or something like that, so I know he does know about nitrous setups some.

Also, I'm sure that Nelson is much busier now, but I never had any problems getting a hold of him, but I haven't had my crew cab for about a year now either so.....


Both guys/tuners are A++ in my books and both are helluva nice guys.

pretty much that sums it up...

I like the fact that if I need to I can meet up with Allen at SAR for some tweaking then run it down the track. :jump:

What about guys that don&#39;t live in Texas. I&#39;m in Florida and I know my truck needs tuned better. But who do I choose?

Get a mail order tune from one of them. I fyou have the money, go with allen. You should call and talk to both of them.

What about the guys that don&#39;t live in the States...ME

Call allen and buya HPTuners Software....done deal. No mess with Fedex or DHL, just Email conection, and WB LOL

one of the better topics we&#39;ve had in a while, and im glad we have diversity. both guys seem top notch and i hope this helps everyone else out as much as it has helped me. thanks guys&#33; :thumb:

I do not have any experience with Nelson&#39;s tuning, but Charlie sure thinks the world of his work.

Charlie has been helping me dial in my tuning for my cam over email, I&#39;m trying to learn and he&#39;s been there for that as well. As soon as I start to jump ahead he&#39;s always there to say &#39;whoa, lets take our time on this and get it right&#39;.

That said, I&#39;ve also ran Wester&#39;s tuning... that was my only experience with mail order tunes, just never seemed right. Although he did make huge improvements for the way my truck ran, it was just too much of a headache mailing PCM&#39;s back and forth to Canada and back (and expensive).

I don&#39;t have anything negative to say about any tuner I&#39;ve had experience with, they all do things a certain way and Alan sure does seem to have this all nailed down tight.

The more I read and learn, the more respect I have for these guys.

That&#39;s the result of a booming business. There&#39;s the good with the bad. I cannot say I&#39;m biased one over the other based on a theory of who I think would be better or worse. I certainly considered Allen for tuning b/c so many have raved about the results. Plus, the mail order & support service is reportedly awesome. I&#39;ve gotten responses from Allen on serveral occasions when I first started my build, and would recommend to anyone who asked. On the other hand, I&#39;ve heard that Charlie&#39;s tunes are awesome as well The time he&#39;s spent with one of the guys I know locally was as much time to get the street tune right for his customer&#39;s satisfaction (there&#39;s a story behind that). There&#39;s been great reports from both (from what I&#39;ve heard).

I guess the bottom line would be... if ya want a good street tune, you&#39;ll end up going with who&#39;s closer & more accessible to you. Is that fair to say? :cool:
