    tuner

    well I have not used them yet but im going to Wait4uperformance.com Ive talked to them on the phone and they seam pretty knowlageable oh buy the way they only cost 360.00 out the door for a harness rebuild and tune. where as nelson is 650.00 for a stand alone and 225.00 or 250.00 for a tune. wait 4u is life time tuning also so if u up grade you just send them the pcm and they retune it all you spend is shipping. I did not see where your located but if your in texas texas speed is jam up on there tuning and performance mods. A guy in midland texas does lots of conversions I believe his shop is cars and parts from mars I talked to him and he uses anoter place out of sa antonio but i don't remember what its called but he told me Nelsons are good but they are for someone with deep pockets and wanting bragging rights

    LMAO, not starting anything, but we're not even close to a lot of shops out there when comparing $$$$$. We're considered reasonable, not high priced or cheap.

    Also, our reworked harness is $450, you're comparing their price to rework a harness to our complete brand new harness which is $650. There's a lot more to building a new harness compared to cutting out the extra stuff and grouping grounds, power and ignitions together. Our reworked harness includes, cutting out the extra stuff, simplifying the harness, adding a fuse block, obd2 connector, ses light, GM fuel pump relay, and easy 4 wire hookup.

    Our hotrod tune, which gets your truck running with no emissions, vats, etc, is $150.

    hope this helps clear things up.

    Im not downing you i have heard from many that your one of the best in the business but 450.00 + 150.00 to get running is too much for many on a budget. I agree if i were building a show truck and wanted to look pretty, there would be no other I would run but yours. not to mention I know your wire is a better grade than oem in the long run but im a poor boy on a poor budget and im just interested in going faster than the next. and by the time the oe wire wears out I be wanting a new project any how.. but just to clarify to all if you want a quality, dependable product and you have the coin to do it right the fist time or your building something to last forever go with nelson....

    You see, you dont have a real budget or real goals... just a poor boy excuse lol. Its always cheaper to do things right the first time and Nelson's prices are some of the most competitive in the business when you compare the $ to product quality ratio (which is excellent). But hey if your on a mega budget why not build the harness yourself then to save money right?

    so i see i stepped on toes

    guys im not out here to sell anyones harness, im just throwing out info i have found out by searching every one seams to have a different idea of what a budget is , and somtimes searching web sites to find info is hard and time consuming because people hang on there preferance rather than just stating facts. and if any one here has ever built hot rods than you would know two identical engines may like different tunes to make them happy hence the reason for a dyno tune. I mean if you want a generic tune meaning every one gets the same "hot rod tune" then get it but don't be suprised when joe blow blows by you with a smaller cam and less money in his truck. I simply state info thats it you the reader can decide if you want cheap, simple, easy, long lasting or what ever, you get what you pay for is true most times but i cannot tell you how many old timers take stock parts mod them and make money bag kids with all the bells and wistles look stupid. some stock stuff can be made to work pretty easly but the world looks at everything out of the lazy mans eyes. why work when i can just buy and plug and play. then you have to ask yourself am i building a project or am i buying parts like a lego set and just assembling. there is a small joy in knowing your blood sweat and tears are in a project instead of just having your last years income in a bolt together investment, if thats what you want just let someone else build it for ya... all i can say is i love when someone likes what you built and says you must have a bundle in it and i say no there is little money in it but its in the right spot. save money where you can and invest it in more power via cam, supercharger, etc....

    Lol...

    No one attacked you and no where have you ever mentioned getting a dyno tune (till now) which would obviously benefit anyone vs a mail order tune... If you wanna talk about puttin in a investment, hows about buy HP tuners an put in the time yourself mr sweat n tears.
