Default Pcmforless performance

Hi,

I have a 1995 LT1 w/6-speed that is stock except for the muffler eliminators and K&N filter.

Would I benefit from reprogramming by Pcmforless? Everyone here seems to feel they do great work. I am looking for additional torque and HP.

I already use a laptop & cable to monitor/record from Datamaster. Would I have to send my PCM to them, or could they just email me the new file to be uploaded to my PCM?

Should I send Pcmforless a copy of my Datamaster files for their review/use in setting up the new file?

Thanks for your help!
Ron

Contact Bryan at PCMForless. Some of your questions are answered here:

Yes, TTS Datamaster is an excellent engine analyzer program they are very familiar with; emailing them files will certainly help for some fine tuning aspects. He will remove the factory slop and adjust your VE tables (for fueling), timing, along with a few other items.

You will notice the improvement seat of the pants. I strongly recommend them, best deal in town, hands down.

PM me for my personal experience with them (Alvin), which was nothing less than great!

He does good work, but (IMO) you probably wouldn't gain much (if any) at your mod level.

I would go with PCMFORLESS. I think it's only about $75 or so to get the new tune emailed to you and I believe it includes a few future updates. Call or email them. You may not see too much becuase of the limited mods you have but it will be better than anything else out there, except for maybe Dyno Tuning. I used a trial Version of TunerCat and bought the definition file for about $20 the first time I programmed it. I believe Bryan also has a free DOS based program he may send you.

YESSSS DO IT!! I just put in an updated PCM and it kicks a**!!! It improved my acceleration(especially @ higher RPM). Idle is now smooth and runs MUCH cooler now that the fans come on earlier.

YOU WILL NOT be disappointed.
