Question PCMforless... any complaints / regrets?

I am getting ready to go the PCMforless route for my 1995 Trans Am with basic bolt-ons. Has anyone that has PCMforless got regrets or suggestions on options to do or not to do. I have emailed Bryan (excellent response time) and am very impressed with the posts I have read here. Any comments / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

For basic bolt ons your probably fine, even with a stock tune I would say.

I used them for a baseline tune, and unfortunately couldn't use it because the timing was nowhere near agressive enough. If your setup is not common, then you are taking a chance with a mail order tune being decent enough to drive with.

I used a friends tune afterwards and did much better, almost made NO timing changes at all.

He was nice and easy to deal with, just didn't work out for me.
