I've tried mail-order PCM tuning, it doesn't matter who's. After swapping the PCM out 3x times I was not satisfied, I had problems from the start with poor shifting, lugging in gear, etc. I'm not saying this is the norm, because it's not, but I decided to cut my losses and get dyno tuned.
01/18/2006: Dyno tuned by Synergy Motorsports in Fremont CA.
304.3HP/329.9TQ
This is by far the best money ever spent on this truck. If you want your F body or truck to run right get over to Rick's shop and let him tune it for you!
02/07/06: Transgo shift kit, Corvette servo and B&M tranny cooler.
02/20/06: My 45th. birthday. Bought myself a new Yank TT3000 torque converter!
02/23/06: Yank TT3000 shipped today! Purchased cam: 224/224 114 lsa. These mods should put my RWHP at around 340.
02/28/06: Truck @ Synergy for cam & converter install.
03/03/06: Dyno Chart w/Cam&Converter
339.3HP/327.3TQ
Not sure about the results. The HP is where i expected but the torque is a little low. We'll see how well she runs the 1/4 soon enough.
First passes at Infineon I managed an honest 15.1 1/4.
Degreeing the cam and heading back in mid april.
330.2HP/332.0TQ
New graphs w/ 4 degs of cam advance. The peak Hp is down as expected but I have more power under the curve and it feels better. We'll see how my time is next week.

15.031 @ 94.01 mph.
2.262 60'
