PCMforless vs. MADZ28?

I need to get some tuning done for my car and was wondering which of these yall might recommend?

I've heard alot of good things about PCMforless over at fbody.com, but I could save $15 if I went with madz28.

$50 + $25 for unlimited email tunes from pcmforless
$60 for unlimited email tunes from madz28

Which did you get your tuning from, and why?

I doubt you'd see significant gains one over the other. Especially not on a stock tune.

Go with what you can afford.

Before you make a decision on pricing alone make sure you contact bryan and tell him your a CZ28.com memeber. He hasn't told me any special deals on the "unlimited tune package" but after shipping there is only between $2-3 bucks between us and madwolf with the discount in my sig.

I just got my computer tuned by MadWolf and I must say I think it was worth every penny. I had the computer done for the TransAm to go with the mods in sig. My car was way rich. It sounded like a farm truck, popping and such. It would knock you over with gas smell. When I put the new computer in I started it up and it ran alot smoother. The gas smell is gone. When I let off the gas I no longer get popping. The car now runs like I think it should for all the mods. It sounds like a F-body again. It felt like a dog before but now seems alot stronger. I don't know if it was just so rich or the knock sensor was picking up the exhaust but either way I am more than happy with the results from Madwolf. The car runs cooler as well. I have no experience with PCMforless, but I hear they are good as well.
