    Another Tune Question for Nelson Performance

    I posted here cause I didn't want to bother them with a phone call or email since its not an urgent matter and from what I understand they stay swamped with orders and work. Also if anybody knows the answer or has any input feel free to post.
    I was wondering if it they could put together a tune similer to this....

    Remove the EGR and maybe the rear o2 sensors (no emission control where I live)

    Turn on the pin for future E-fan upgrade

    Possibly tune for better gas milage its my DD and fuel cost sucks!!! just don't want to break the bank with the cost of higher octane fuel less it can be justified with increased fuel mileage

    After the tune he locks the PCM so will I need a retune to adjust for tire size or something like changing my gear ratio??? or would i still be able to correct it with my hypertech??

    I don't really guess you would consider it a performance tune, but I was wondering if it was something they would do. I'm sure I could think of more but hopefully that would get the ball rolling. if anybody has any questions plz ask or if you want to add something to it go for it.

    he can remove all those things, and tune for milage.
    no hyercrap cant alter the tune... My advice is to sell the Hyper tech. just cant compare to a hp tune. retunes for tire size and different mods are simple... he mails you a new pcm, you mail back the old one. to change the pcm takes about 5 minuts and a socket. relearn takes about 200 miles for it to work right. it will run good untilthen but it justs needs to recalibrate.

    when you get it tuned, you cant use the hypertech it messes with the tune.

    tire hight shouldnt be to hard to change as long as the tires are not massively big or smaller.

    i would 86 the descreened maf too, it trys to mess with the tune.

    call up nelson you wont bother them

    Thanks for the reply's guys, like mentioned earlier I not in a big hurry but its on my summer to do list.

    Hopefully after the first of this week I will have the rest of my parts in to change up my suspension I'm change my front coils from 3"in to 2" replacing my tie rods and putting my rear load leaf back in. I'm going for a more sporty look instead of "ass dragn ground" look.

    I'm running 255/50 r17 right know how do you think a 255/60 r17 would look after i raise it back up. I was thinking the general grabber uhp's would look sweet?

    My truck has been through hell over the years and i'm just trying to get it back rode worthy and return it back to its glory day's
