    I am just curious what you guys think is best. I am going to Nelson Performance this week to get my truck tuned and wanted to know which would be better a dyno tune or a street tune. Thanks.

    Depends on if you want to race on the street or on a dyno. What matters most is how it goes down the street or track. Dyno measurements are great if you can't get to the track.

    Even if you do a dyno tune you still need a street tune. The dyno can measure some important points, but you still need the driveability that only a street tune can give. Mine has always been tuned by Allen on the street. I&#39;ve had it on the dyno a few times, but the street tune is the best. Even Allen likes this kind of tuning best.

    I have been wondering this same question myself. I was planning on getting Nelson to tune my truck, as San Antonio is only 30 mins away and I have heard alot of good things about Nelson. Im sure I need a re-tune after putting on these longtubes. Do you have to make an appointment for something like this? Wont be for a couple of weeks as I am out of town for work.

    Yeah, call him for an appointment. He&#39;s a very busy guy at times.

    You definitely need a tune after LTs. And yes you need an appointment. He is probably about 2 weeks out right now, but give him a call anyway.
    Gone, but not forgotten!
