I wasn't happy with my tune from them either. It was always rich, and I had 2 trouble codes since the first day I put it in that were never there before. I don't think they disabled my CAGS either. I'm going with a local dyno tune next time.

NOTHING is ever as good as a DYNO tune. but let me say.. make sure the person doing your dyno tune... KNOWS LT1s...

Ive had my car on so many different dynos... and its amazing how two dyno tuners, who tune 4 digit LS cars and FORDS, could not get my car right!
Till... I found a place that understood LT1s... they tuned out my stumble, and corrected other issues, so that my car is making the most it has ever made.... Including being more efficient that it is making more boost with bit 227 heads than it did with stock ported polished heads (which when you think about it should have shown more boost due to more restriction.)

My tune currently is pretty good but I do plan on getting a stop tune once the motor is done the break in period.

Alvin only does the 93 LT1's, so unless you converted your 95 to the 93 style computer chip, then Alvin is not an option. You can contact PCM's for less, and tell them you only want the tune done by Bryan, and then he will be the one doing it. Originally Posted by tarheelsoldier

Well. I went ahead and went with PCM4Less for now. I live about 15min from Alvin. I am about 1.5 hrs from Tick Performance. So I might run up to one or the other. PCM4Less made my car run smoothly which it hasnt since I have owned it. So they did a decent job.

From the sounds of it, PCMforLess shouldnt have been my choice.

Keith sucks, but Bryan is really the best. So it totally depends on who you are dealing with.

I dealt with Alvin and he did a great job, he is about to re-tune it for the cam and other goodies

It was done by PCM for less. Needless to say, I won't be going back. Originally Posted by popo8
