    Decided on switching tunes...

    Well I decided on switching my tune. I have a HP tune done by a guy I know but he's getting unreliable because he never has time to tune my truck and I have to drive an hour and a half to where he lives for him to do it. So I decided on Nelson. I really don't know why I didn't get it to begin with but I didn't know about it early on. Since I plan on doing quite a bit to my truck pretty soon I think it's my best move. I don't really know what to tell them about how I want my tune set. I would like a pretty aggressive tune but not one that's gonna mess up my trany before I can rebuild it. I'm gonna order it in monday hopefully.

    Tell them exactly that - he'll take care of you.

    Ok...awesome. Do you know what kind of improvement it will make over stock? I've heard 35whp? Does that sound about right for my application?

    Well I don't have crap for mods now...for now ;-) I just want a good, reliable tune that I can have on my truck from now on; and I believe Nelson is the ticket.

    Isn't there a member on here that either works for Nelson Performance? If so I'd like to ask them a few questions about the tune. I guess I could just call but I'll be on here quite a bit too...
