Personally, I have a Wait4Me tune. It doesn't matter if they are near you if you get a mail order tune. They mess with many, many table in the tune that were set in a conservative manner coming from the factory. They can also mess with torque management. If you really want to know everything they do, search and you can read for days...

Any of the tuners (Wait4Me, Nelson, etc.) are all very good tuners and know what they are doing. Do a search and give them a call and you can talk to them one-on-one and discuss what your goals are and they can give some recommendations and tell you what they will do...

No problem man. Today's hot rods are alot different than yesterday's with all the computer stuff but don't get overwhelmed and try to get on here and do some research before you make a purchase. There are alot of VERY knowledgeable guys on here who share the same interest as you and they would love to help...
