Question Mad Z28 tune

OK well I have just installed my pacesetter longtube headers and my custom true dual exhaust and I think it is time to get a tune done. I have heard nothing but good things about madz28 tune so I think Iam going to go with him. I have a few questions though, I was looking through his website and Iam not sure what tune I will need. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great I dont know much about computers and tuning.
-Thanks Brandon

Re: Mad Z28 tune

I went with the full tune, while had had my pcm, i also had him socket it so I only need him to send me the chip now and I dont have to continually ship the pcm back and forth to him. I didn't dyno before and after the tune, or log a before and after, but from SOTP the car felt a lot stronger after I got the tune.

Re: Mad Z28 tune

what all did you get him to do to the pcm? I dont know what I would really need (air fuel) is that it?

He will know. Call him and ask him what is best for your set up.

Re: Mad Z28 tune

well i just called him and he is a really nice guy. He told me that I should go with the power tune because of timing and air fuel mixtures. I asked him all my questions and he was quick to respond. Also he told me that I would gain about 13 hp and tq with just his tune. Along with getting rid of skip shift and rev limiter. I will be ordering later tonight and hopefully be dynoing the car on friday so I will keep you guys informed.
-Thanks Brandon
