Default w4me tune questions

Im looking into getting a w4me tune and i was wondering what you guys thought that have this tune? Is it worth it or should i consider a different brand? How are they at tuning bigger cams?

I Just put mine back in yesterday after a small air fuel ratio correction, I Think this is the best money I have spent so far. I Like it allot more than my predator that cost $150 more. you won't be sorry, you can't be, he'll fix what ever you want for free. how much risk is that? Today going about 45mph I stabbed it and it downshifted to first and lit up the tires then grabbed 2nd. in a 4x4 crewcab. I Love It.... couldn't ask for more for so little money. Do It..

Mail order tunes are a real good buy, way better than any one of the hand held units. Both Wait4Me and Nelson are sponsers of this forum-------------------->>
For cam'd trucks i'd recommend dyno tuning if available.

No Really, it was 40-45 maybe more, I was watching the air /fuel gauge so I didnt get to see how high it revved, But it was high, then went to 2nd. that was why I did it to check my wot air / fuel ratio. I'll do it again at lunch just to be sure. Your truck don't do more than 35 in first gear?

In about 35 min I'm going to lunch and try it again, I'll try from 40, then 45. and let you know. I don't know where jesse put my shift/downshift points. I haven't had it in long enough to know. I do know it runs very strong and shifts like a Bitch. I couldn't be happier with it..
