Default Wait 4 Me

Ok i know you guys all love Nelson and those are some awesome tunes.
But i can't hide away enoguh money from my folks to get a tune from him.
So i was looking anround and i found a Wait 4 Me, now 158 for a tune seems a little screwy. So my question is, Are these tunes any good or do i just need to kick that to the kurb. And get a Nelson.

some people have had good results with him and others haven't. another option to look at is in here https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=361756

150 bucks isn't bad at all.

You sure hear that alot on this forum but the question is do you get over 3x a better tune with Nelson? I seriously doubt it. Someone needs to put a nelson tune and a W4M tune on the same truck and put this argument to rest

I enjoyed my w4m on my stock truck, but when I did the engine/cam swap, I had a few issues, but thats to be expected with any mail order tune. I say go w4m

If you can find someone who has EFILive scan software and take the truck on a 20 minute drive, you should get an excellent tune from Wait4Me. The more he knows of your conditions the better the tune. Nelson ran numerous scans of different trucks to build his system and that is why he has better results than most.

I talked tp Jesse (at least I think it was him) on the phone the other day, and when i asked him about t/m he said he didn't take any out. Now personally i wan't to take out about 60% should i tell him or does he actually take it out??

There is a reason he does this. I had him remove 80%, and after about a week, I smoked my tranny. Im not sure, but I thought he pulled "engine" torque management, and if you had a modified tranny (shift kit, servos, etc.) he would pull some tranny tq management
