Default PCM's for less?

Anyone have any experience with PCM's for less? A dyno shop in my area uses this company for LS1 edit tuning. I'm trying to figure out what to get for my 99 silverado with a 5.3. I don't know if it is comparable to something like a Nelson tune or not.

Also, do you guys usually get an improvement in fuel economy? I'm curious to see if it is really worth running 93 octane if I don't pick up 2mpg.

Thanks for your help.

PCMFORLESS has had great reviews over on SilveradoSS.com. Bryan is pretty knowledgeable and has been doing tuning for a number of years.

Go to the SS website and do a search.

The guys at SilveradoSS.com have had good results with his tunes. I've been swapping emails with him and he said he got around 25 hp at the wheels on his SS. I am seriously considering his tune. $10/hp for a tune ain't bad.

So far it sounds all positive. I would be more willing to do this since the dyno is close as well as just being able to get help if something isn't right.
