Which Mail Order Tune to go with?

What mail order tune should I go with for my 383?

Fastchip?

PCMforLess?

Others?

I'm starting to get PMs that PCMforLess runs rich at idle or messes up the rev limiter?

personally bro, spend the money elsewhere, get that pig dyno-tuned or get a tuner or a wide band setup...

Yeah I'm thinking thats probably what'll end up happening.

Just the 93s seem a pain to burn chips with on the dyno.

I dyno tuned my 93 and burned about 5 chips that day. You'd be surprised but it's actually easier, quicker and safer (than a 94+ car) if you do it right.
Just find a shop that burns chips, or find a local 93 guy who can tune it for you on the dyno.

I've selected a mail order tuner to burn me a chip for next month.

I'll post the results next month.

I'll do a dyno tune through the same company later in summer.

A couple of people have told me that Alvin from PCMforLess is usually pretty dead on with tuning.

So for the time being I'm going to try a chip from him and see what the results are like.

I'll post before and after videos.
