PCMforless is it worth the price

getting a tune from PCM4less is it ready worth the money, I know they can clear up code problems, but is there that much HP/torque gain, that's a lot of money just to clear codes, I have 96z LT1 stock with a few bolt on's running 13.5 in 1/4 and read some where that someone else with almost the same set up that I have was running 12.9 in 1/4, but he had a tune and underdrive pulley, will the tune give you this much.

I don't know about with a stock car but, we used PCM4less on my wife's 94 TA when we put the hotcam in. Ship time was quick and the car idled and ran very good...We were pleased to be able to drive it with out it bogging at take off.

I would say that on a stock or bolt-on car, the tune is still definitely worth it. Not only does it add more power, but it helps the car run better in other ways such as lower running temps and more aggressive shifts for the auto trannies.

Yes.

He did the initial tune for my TA w/ turbo and also for my LT1 280Z conversion. He has been very helpful with follow-up questions as well.

Yes. Esp if auto. The tune is like a shift kit. I'll run cooler. No top speed limiter.
