Great results from PCM for Less tuning . . .

[HummBebe]

To the fellow H3'rs that have ordered this product:

I totally appreciate your opinion, and respect your choice to buy this product.

Please don't take anything I have said to this Woman as a personal attack on you.

Sorry guys, there was just something about it.....it's a chick thing.

I don't know what kind of 'chick thing' it is, sorry.

You know exactly what I mean.

This is something that benefits you during your entire drive cycle, whether you've got it matted to the floor or not.

First the H3 is not AWD. There is a difference. PCM for less AND Rancho need to get this right before you will get an ounce of respect from me.

Splitting hairs....maybe.

Colorado/Canyon share the same engine, but from the factory they are tuned differently.

YOUR LINK IS TO A 2-3 YEAR OLD CANYON TUNE.

Please provide an updated tune...in private if you must.

teh proof is in teh puddin'.

I can understand if you don't want to share proprietary information with the whole whirrled.

What about changing the shift points for hauling around a set of 35's, a roof rack, front winch bumper, winch, rock rail-side steps, 2 roof ladders and a rear bumper?

Can it do that? I'm really curious, I'm a girl, you know.....kinda dumb when it comes to all this techie stuff.

I do not have any recent H3 graphs, sorry. The majority of truck folks (all trucks, not just H3) that stop by in person to get a tune aren't interested in ponying up the extra cash to get on the dyno. They want the seat of the pants difference...noticeable power, better shifting, etc etc and aren't really interested in knowing what it makes on the dyno.


Ok....


so now we are here:

You might have missed where I answered your question, here it is - post #44 in this thread:

http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...0&postcount=44

As for the gear...yes the ordersheet asks all sorts of questions like that and also has a comment box at the bottom for other important information that you feel like you need to add.




Oh now you tell me....in other words, my vehicle would require a custom tune? How much is that?

Westhillsat - Cool, let us know how you like it. I'm sure your feedback will be less of an "infocommercial".

Hi,

My name is Alvin, I along with Bryan started PCMforless over 7 years ago doing mail order custom tuning for just about everything GM makes. In that time we have appeared in over 10 well known magazines and traveled all across the country doing dyno days and dyno tuning. We are known for our customer service.

We sell proven custom tailored tuning for how you drive and use your vehicle. Tow with your hummer? Like to run premium fuel? Using a different tire size? We can help, that's our job. We also do dyno tuning at both of our home offices in Indiana PA and Charlotte NC.

For those that are skeptical. I understand completely. Everyone is used to manufacturers coming out and claiming all kinds of neat and great things only to completely fail to deliver.

One thing is for certain. We are not a fly by night company. We have been doing this for quite a while and you can find our names on forums for corvettes, hummers, Colorado, trailblazers, camaros, GTO's, etc. I'll promise you that you'll have a very hard time finding anyone who is not pleased with our work.

Unlike just about any other performance parts manufacturer we offer a money back guarantee if your not happy with what we do for you.


So considering how widely known we are, how we offer a money back guarantee, and how many very happy customers there are even on this site I do not understand at all where all this brash accusing and name calling is coming from.

If you do not own one of our products or do not plan on at least trying one of them please have a little respect before bashing them or saying slanderous things like we copy other tuners. The things some people have been saying here are unfounded lies, totally unbiased, and unprovoked! You would have thought by reading their reply that we have pissed off a couple H3 customers already and stole thier money!


Shawn has worked closely with us and even wrote a article w/ us on how to tune your GM truck for Chevy High Performance magazine. (May 05? maybe he will back me up on the right article) He has seen the inner workings of our tuning and strategy. He is on here backing us up. Don't you think a man in his position would call us out if we sold snake oil? Go pick up a Chevy high performance magazine and see if we advertise in it.. We don't. They don't owe us anything.

Shawn (ChevyHighPerfomance) also backs us up with the cold hard facts that the Colorados and H3's are tuned exactly the same from the factory. Therefore both have the same shortcomings in the factory tune and both can stand to be optimized for each (and differently) for colorado and H3. The factory really did a hack job on these things. The dyno sheet is a good representation of what you will get in a H3 as they are the same engine. The performance gain is also noted by about everyone who has tried our tune on this site! If we where selling snake oil do you think they would have reported anything positive?


IF you think we are total BS than please don't buy anything form us. If you have any questions as to our service our product I'm sure others who have purchased and tried our tuning will be glad to comment.

If you have a technical question or what to talk to me personally you may call me at 704-307-4227.


To those who have given us a shot we greatly appreciate the comments you have made. I'm sorry we have a few people who want to ruin the good thing we have here.

Thank you

OK....I think you have been heard.

One more time Alvin....AWD or 4WD?

[tomp]

So Alvin, maybe you are the one we need here to be able to answer questions? There are some very knowledgable members here and expect a technically inclined answer when ones due.

Please explain to us how this "personal" tuning is accomplished/accurate when they are done in-house and not on a track or dyno? Where the initial maps created at least in this fashion? This would be an acceptable approach, providing they are down-tuned to allow for variances in weight, wind, towing etc.

We were not getting the answers we were looking for, thus I am assuming is the reason you posted. Please explain the above. Thanks!

[westhillsat]

And lets note that 4 members of this forum were discussing this before Kelly posted on this thread.


She didn't start the thread, just stepped in to answer questions.


And as a 48 year old old fart, I don't have a problem with that!!!!!!!
