Re: PCM or MAD Z?

I'm happy with my Madz28 tune, it made a night/day difference. Both are very good tuners though and you will get a good job from either.

Re: PCM or MAD Z?

Another vote for Ion here. I recently got a tune from him. Good stuff.

As for emails, I can only imagine he gets boatloads of needless emails like "Can you tune for this?" ect. Unless someone has a very unusual setup, there's no need to ask. Just order.

Re: PCM or MAD Z?

I was very happy with my Madz28 tune, I ordered the email flash-it-yourself package since I have the cable and laptop and it's a very painless solution. He does seem to be very slow on email response the times I've emailed him, to the tune of a week or more. I imagine he is merely swamped w/ emails as the above poster mentioned. Who knows, bottom line is you'll get a good tune in the end though for a great price.

Re: PCM or MAD Z?

I'm happy with my Bryan Herter / PCMforless OBDI conv. and tune... but I don't think you can go wrong with either one. These guys both have a good rep.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I really appreciate it!

JP, you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. I often wish people would browse through the site a bit before emailing me, since the answers to 90% of the questions I get are there. I am currently working on a better website that will have more help available and other helpful features, which hopefully will make things easier since this 'help' is a bit dispersed throughout the different sections of the webpage right now (some of it is on the order sheet, some on the FAQ page, etc.)

You're also correct about ordering. Once an order is placed, I stick to the processing times in the FAQ section. Most times it is quicker than indicated there, but other times, USPS may screw up a delivery or a core may not be immediately available and the time reserved for shipping can meet the times indicated on the FAQ page.

As for answering emails, right now I answer most of them the same day, with an occasional lag of a day or two, so it has improved.

Again, thanks for the support!

Yes, just like your signature, but the other way around. First - beer, then MadZ28.com tune.
