Default nelson tune vs. futral tune

need you guys opinions. goin to get a tune soon and trying to decide b/n nelson and allan. i know they're both good tuners. it would be no problem for me to talk it to futral (i live like 30 min. away from his shop). and futral does have dyno-proven power to back his up. plus it would be like getting free dyno runs since he uses the dyno.

on the other hand, i havent' heard a single complaint on the nelson tune. its not dyno tuned, but it is over $100 cheaper.

if i went with allan, updates (cam, converter, etc) would cost extra for the dyno time (unless its just something like tire sizethat doesn't require any real tuning). nelson gives free updates (just have to wait for the computer to come in the mail).

lastly, the only drawback to goin with allan is he's so busy i might have to wait a while to get an appt. made.

so with all that being said, yall give me yur opinions.

I went MTI over Nelson's mainly because of the proximity to where I live, but thats just me. Location is a big factor for me.

as illnali said what ever is closer. If you can drive 30 mins get hooked to a dyno and tunned then I would go with that.

FYI..
Even though we are very busy we have several hours each week set aside for tuning and existing customers that need assistance. We tune on Saturdays also so your looking at being able to get in 1-2 weeks. Im sure you will get a good tune which ever way you decide to go. Just let us know if you have any questions.
