+500 You will regret that hand held when an identical truck with a real tune walks awayfrom you... you will love getting a live tune from Nelson Performance - Performance without Sacrificing Drivability
i agree about the hand helds to a certain point my edge evo made a really big difference in my truck that why right now i m trying to justify the money to try a nelson tune will it really b worth it
Like we all said... Nelson gives +35 hp and about a full second off the 1/4 mile.. at least for me anyways. to geta full second off the 1/4 mile doing something else, I think a 100shot would give you a full second off.
heh, not all the time!! But again you get what you pay for Nelson tunes are badass imho and to top it off he puts up with all my b/s changes and sends me new tunes all the time! I want to change shiftpoints and cam, no problem. new PCM is here before the parts by a long shot. I dont even remember what I paid him for the first tune at this point. And btw I still have my diablo to monitor the engine sensors till I get a wideband O2. After that the predator will be a paper weight, I am not even sure I would sell that piece of **** to anyone.Quote:

You can change shift firmness and shift points, Injector slope, Rev limiter, Top speed, and a few other things but to be honest if you do gain any power out of it I will be totally surprised. I hate it, Im getting a real tune so if you want it let me know!
My hypertech just craped out on me and gave me a code 80. So I call hypertech like the programmer said, and the tech guy didn't even have a code 80 listed on his sheet, and sence they don't make my modle any more he said they can't do anything. now I have to have a dealer reflash my computer so when I get efilive i can use it.Quote:
