yea thats what i was thinking but i think its way worth it just to correct the speedo, and turno off the rear o2's and the other emissions bull... so you wouldnt recc. a 93 oct. tune from em?

This is going to be a retarded question but just making sure... If I pull out my ECU to send to them, I can't turn on/drive my car right?

Just the inconvience of not having transportation for a week is enough to make me pay the 400 for a "tune done right".

They will send you a tuned PCM and you send your stocker after you put the new one in, no down time. I think this is what I am going to do.

:yup: Allen did both my 99SS and 02 Tahoe Z71.

Awesome Performance..... :flex:

And at idle you don't even feel like they're on, smooth. :yup:

yea they look good butt lots of $$... does the site or tuner look legit? what do you think? i mean for 62 shipped what do you think? its just worth it to get the speedo calib. and turn off the rear o2s right?

thats up to you, it wouldnt be to me, I would run o2 sims and have a speedo that is off a little until I had it tuned or got a PCM but that is what I want to do, if you dont plan on doing many more mods and you just want rear o2 off and speed calibration then it may be worth it to you, just depends like I said what you want to do. Take care.
