Default Nelson tune or Ed Wright tune?

I live in the Tulsa area and was wondering which guy would be better. I have heard a lot of good come from the Nelson tune but I don't know which one. Do both, if any, send out the programmer so the user can make his own adjustments? Would it be better for me to travel down the road to Mr. Wright so he could have the truck right there? If I add a mod to my truck after the Nelson tune do I have to pay another $400 or whatever to 'work it in' to my truck's setup? Which one is a better value? Input please.

well i can say that having the truck infront of you could be a good thing. but there are a lot of people that are very happy with the nelson mail order. as far as upgrades-you pay shipping for another pcm and he sends you an update. not another 400.00.

yea it is kinda a win loose situation. i feel you would get a better tune at eds because it would be there...but i hate how he lockes the pcm because i have edit.

on the other hand allen has the up grade thing going for him. and i think it is like 100$ or something each extra time at ed's but i can not remember.

tell you my dellings with ed wright. [4] men in my shop had comp. work done. 1st a vett- $1000.00 of comp. work in 2 years time #2 gmc truck $750.00 #3 f-body $450.00 #4 new vett. $450.00. NOTE everytime you call you get John you can't talk to Ed himself. If there is a problem with the tune John tells you that you fucked up the tune not is problem. On the other hand we had Nelson redo all the tunes better then ever more power better gas milage n if u want to update u can talk to Nelson himself. Free updates just pay for
shipping Allen is the man no contest

Mine is a mail-order tune for Allen and it is the BOMB! He's done enough tunes to know just what to do without being there.

Nelson is looking like the deal to go with. I would drive down there sometime but that Texas traffic sucks, takes 10 hrs. to go an 8 hr. distance. Thanks for the imput.
