well your "method" is working for me... bahahahaha.Just a madz28.com tune:
Dyno Run 1 (RO) Max power: 280.5 (+14.3) Max Torque: 300.4 (+3.3)
Dyno Run 2 (2nd gear pull) Max power: 277.1 (+22.3) Max Torque: 300.7 (+27.2)
GM847 cam insatll with necessary madz28.com tune:
Dyno Run 1 (RO) Max power: 305.6 (+25.1) Max Torque: 310.5 (+10.1)
Dyno Run 2 (2nd gear pull) Max power: 304.9 (+27.8) Max Torque: 312.1 (+11.4)
I recommend getting a spare PCM if you're going to be "reguliarly" getting tune updates. It will assure a timely turn around as the guys will not being waiting for someone to return a core in order to set yours up. As I stated before I am quite happy with the service. After the cam "operation", I was quite relieved to start the car up and drive it now for two weeks without any "SES".

Re: PCM or MAD Z?
Okay I have a question for you guys then. Do you know if either sells PCMs? My stock PCM has a few areas failing and/or burnt up, so I'm thinking I need an entirely new PCM, and I might as well get it tuned while I'm at it. If either MadZ28 or PCM also sells new chips that would save me some time. I could buy one from them already programmed instead of sending one in to be programmed, since I can't cuz its jacked up.
Any recommendations on what I should do would be great guys.

Buy another PCM from the classified section. That's what I did to make life easier.
