New to the tuning Idea too, I would like to know what is a good choice I have seen people talk about Wait4me, Nelson and a few others but am clueless as to which is best for different years and needs... Anyone?

i'm still rather new to the tuning aspect of these trucks but with the experience i've had with my truck i would suggest a predator. I currently have a nelson tune in my truck and its been a pains taking process to get a reasonable tune not too mention costly. it's taken several months to get my truck with a 91-93oct nelson tune to the point that it can beat my buddy who has an identical truck only he had an 87oct predator tune.even though i beat him he still had more initial take of than i did. nelson is good at what he does but looking back at the cost of nearly500 to start with and $25 every time i have to send it back cause the tune wasnt right i'm now invested to almost $650. and now the tune is pretty good but i still have to send it back cause he didn't calibrate the speedometer correctly prob another $25. long story short, a predator pumps out alot of power and versitily for $300 if i had to do it all over again i would have just got the pred and called it good.
