I'm just wondering who the best person is toccontact for a mail order tune. I'm also switching to speed density because I have gone through 3 mass air flow sensors and none of them have turned off my service engine light. Thanks for the help in advance.
not sure on the mail order tune, but i had my harness connector for my maf crap out, depending on how its all routed it can be pretty damn tight and can put some strain on the wires.
i got a replacement from painless i believe.
We have a sponsor on the board that offers mail order tunes. @sweet-94z28
I've dealt with Madtuner and Moe Bailey in the past, both in my book are top notch.
I've heard quite a bit of good things from Solomon, lt1pcmtuning.com. I actually just sent my PCM off today for a tune. Very reasonable price also.
Solomon did my base tune. He really knows how to do things the correct way vs band aiding it. I've learned a lot from him.
Not to take away from a sponsor, but I also had Solomon do my tune, it was email tune. Runs great, fixed my speedo being off with the gear change. Plus the extra tunes to get things fine tuned is awesome. I did fry my PCM 2x loadin the tune since my battery was dropping voltage as soon as the fans would kick on. So I also had @firebird_1995 up above send me a PCM that has removable prom chips so next time I break it I'm not dead in the water!
The main thing I'm worried about is switching to speed density. I need my emissions tuned out to. Just curious on the pros and cons of mass air flow and speed density. I'm getting tired of trying to find why my mass air flow is throwing a code.
What code(s) are you getting exactly?
I don't remember the exact codes. I'll scan it after I get my water pump on. Some other codes I was throwing was a timing code, EGR code (I deleted my emissions), and a skip shift code. I know 2 of that aren't to much to worry about but the timing and mass air codes are the ones I'm most worried about. I'm pretty sure my timing code was the p1371. It's been awhile since I have checked them so I could be wrong.
Hey just wanted to chime in with another Solomon tune! He just did mine and it really woke the car up. I was surprised at the difference! He knows exactly what he is doing on the ltx.
Just ordered one from mad z28 today... I will never deal with pcmforless ever again.
Would have loved to try someone on the forums or lt1tuning but I needed a new computer anyway.
I'd like to talk to someone about tuning. Just need somethings cleared up and explained. I really want to keep business here on the forum so I will be contacting sweet z28.
I had mine tuned in person by Moe, he really knows his stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to have him tune it via mail. Stay away from PCM For Less.
I'd be more than happy to help you out. Send me a detailed email with what you have and what you need. mickelsonperformance@yahoo.com
Ion at madtuner did my base tune for the 24x conversion. It was a little rich but that was to be expected.
I've always heard great things about Ed Wright ( www.fastchip.com ). That's who I plan on using after I get my car back together.
talk to @sweet-94z28. nate is a good dude, not only will he tune your car until its right, he will teach you alot about tuning it and will tell you exactly what he is doing. i learned more just bs'ing with him when he was fine tuning than i ever learned on the net
That's always nice when the tuner explains what he is doing instead of just saying here try this tune. Communication is key.Quote:

Many of us have tunercats or tunerpro so it's easy to just get on the phone and explain the changes I make.
I have contacted Nate, I am going to send my puter to him for a mail order tune. As soon as he replies again with an address to send it to. He said phone is the best way to reach him, but he didnt put his # in the reply, any body have it by chance ? I.d really like to get it on the way. thanks.
Ill talk to him later and tell him to get back to youQuote:

@sweet-94z28
LTXtech.com is my drug.
Thanks popo8, I already emailed him and called him, he responded once now just waiting for him to get back with me.
oh.. cool. sorry. lol
LTXtech.com is my drug.
after many months of hitting walls talking to MANY tuners and getting turned away, Finally Bill @ BP Automotive @green96ta was able to help me out with a base line tune. not sure if its something he advertises but, again he has saved my build.
@sweet-94z28 i was not aware that we had another tuner on here
@sweet-94z28 nate is a good dude and will teach you what you/he are doing if you have your own cable and programs. very informative of the changes being made and how everything relates etc etc.
I sure am glad you guys think so much of him, my puter is on the way to him. but after talking to him, I'm pretty sure it will rock when it comes back. ;)
I do my best with them!!! Thanks for the referrals everyone!
