Here is my dilemma. I have a wester's tune in my truck. I feel I can get me performance and mileage out of my truck. How do I know this. Because I had a wait4me tune in the truck for a while before I put a updated wester's tune back in the truck. The wait4me tune had more pull up the hills around here in MO. I found a tuner in Columbia, MO. But I have never heard of him, but he has tuned trucks, but mainly cars. He uses HP tuners. Should I get rid of my wester's tune for a tune in person? Would I be able to get more horsepower and gas mileage if I had it done in person?

I did.
I made 33rwhp/33rwtq over the mail order tune by tuning in person, on a dyno. There's only so much anyone can do without logging. I say do it!

He is a tuner in Columbia, MO. Its actually him and two other guys. He checks the timing and the afr also when he tunes. He doesn't have a dyno, but he tunes while he drives. And he charges $200 with free updates. So what do you guys think? Go ahead and do it. I don't know how much more horsepower and mileage I can get over a mail order tune.

I had a PCMforLess tune that I got "street tuned" after I installed a 160* t-stat. I picked up .3 seconds in the 1/4 mile w/ the new tune. I say go for it.

Good price... DO IT.
DozerDan tuned mine by driving it around and its amazing the difference. A Personal tune allows the tuner to tune specifically for your setup. That is a lot better than a mail order tune and I don't recall ever seeing a mail order for under $300.

You think it is even worth it, if my truck is stock, except for a cold air intake to do a tune for $200.
