Give Justin time, he is busier than you think. I have emailed him and it took a couple days, but he answered everything I needed. Soon as I get $$ I am going with VMP, and I would recommend you do also. My uncle has VMP on his truck and it kicks @$$

Actually, bigmike, I think Justin is on vacation right now. I'm sure he'll respond to you when he returns. Everyone deserves a few days of rest now and then, right?

VMP gets my vote, duh !!

Justin is on vacation right now. So it's going to take a little longer to respond. I think he's still going to be answering emails while he's out of town though.

If you're going to dig in your heels & prepare yourself for a wait, you may as well call Troyer Performance too. I have Troyer tunes & I think they're great.

The best place is from the one that makes you happy. I got mine from Bill at www.phptune.com and I'm happy!

I am talking about someone who takes my factory ecu and gets another one refurbished , taking all add ons into consideration will be able to completely tune it out for 87 octane and best performance best and smooth shifts, ext. But for cheap. My buddy told me about a place Wiat4meperformance.com for 170.00 and i guess does really really fine work, but i am always looking for the better man better price so let me know guys!

So you want someone who will take the OEM PCM/computer off of your truck, and swap it with something that they refurbished?

A programmer flashes the custom tune into your ECU, and saves your stock one. Whenever you want to go back to stock, you just flash that in. Unless there's another reason for it, I don't see why you would need to get a separate ECU.

As for cheaper than 170, I don't know if you're going to find that elsewhere...
