Is a mail order tune worth it?
If i can not find a good Dyno Tune here in the midwest, Is a mail order tune worth it? I have been reading about other people here complaining about theirs. Any comments or suggestions would be great.

It depends
Im getting a mail order bc i have a lot of miles on this engine. When it goes bad ill be getting a 6.0. Then ill get a dyno. It really all depends on what your purpose is and like you said, where youre located. A dyno tune is def better. I just ordered a nelson tune, i hear from a lot of ppl hes the best for mail order. Good luck with your decision.

Nelson or wait4me has my vote... both good tuners. I would have to say the mail order isnt worth it if you have access to a dyno.. but since you dont, nelson or wait4me...
however.. i have heard many ppl saying that their shifting is weird with jesse's tunes. Happened to me and got a retune and never happened again. but i have heard about 5-6 cases about that w/ his tunes.

I think a mail order tune is worth it. I know mostly everyone here goes with Wait4Me or Nelson, but I went with PcmForLess. It's kind of a give and take thing when it comes to this stuff.
I was going to go with Wait4Me myself until I sent an email to Jesse about some tuning, I got a reply a full 2 days later from his wife. I know he is a busy guy but come on, 2 days just for an email?
I never was really interested in a Nelson tune, I didn't feel the price matched my basic bolt-ons. I have talked to Allen about some future Ford tuning for some buddies of mine though and he was quick to answer all of my questions. He seems like a great guy and a lot of people praise his tuning.
I sent many emails to Brian Herter at PcmForLess and he always answered all of my questions within an hour of when I sent them. He didn't seem to mind answering any of my newbie questions and this is what sold me. Their price is right between the other and their tuning is ranked with the best as well. I love my tune from Brian and I will contiue to go with his tuning until the day I need a Dyno tune.
I'm not saying anyone of these guys is better than the other, these are just my personal experiences with each of them. Good luck man!
