Default Performane Chip

Greetings,
Try PCM For Less. The consensus seems to be that their custom tune and customer service is best.
Regards,
Ken

Forum member ski_dwn_it is also a supporting member. I believe he has teamed up with Exotic Muscle. I am more than pleased with the service, price and performance. Add him to your list.

hello,

I'll put it this way.. I'll guarentee to make more power than motorvation, TBI chips, or whoever else you would like to compare to.

Thanks,

I have had a couple of the chips from the above mentioned tuners. BY FAR, the best is pcmforless IMHO. PM me if you would like more info on who not to use and I will tell you about my bad experience with them. Oh and when Alvin guarentees his chips he agrees to refund if not right. Im still waiting on a refund form a different tuners bad tune.

Do a poll or a search, using archives and you will get an answer which will more than likely be PCMFORLESS.
My vote, pcmforless. His customer service and patience is great. Some of us customers are a PIA, and he still comes through. Great tunes.

I'll add my 2 cents. PCMforless made a noticeable improvement on a box stock LT1 with 90K miles.

Now that's entertainment..............
