Wait4Me Tunes

Anybody got one?? I have heard good things about them. The tune is only 157 bucks...compared to 300-400 for a nelson, i think its a much better deal......

www.wait4meperformance.com

check it out.....i think im gona order one next week...

Good luck, Ive learned that if it looks to good to be true... It probably is. Maybe this company is new (if they are how much experience do they have). I guess one of the main things to remember is reputation says it all. And if you have paid any attention at all in this forum is Allen's rep is light years ahead of everyone else. Also how will this company work with you after the sale, I know Allen will work with you until its perfect. Allen will send you a new tune everytime you mod something. FOR FREE except for shipping. My last point for you is, Have you asked yourself why there tunes are so much cheaper than everyone elses including hypertech, jet performance, diablo. Allen probably tunes 50-60 pcms per week. Like I said if you choose to go with it, good luck I hope it works out for you but buyer beware

If you have someone who can put a built LQ4 into a 94(?) sportside (Farmtruc, the name of his toy) and get 10/11 sec from it you have to ask what he knows. Ask Wait for me about support after the sale. What if it's not just right and you want it changed? Will they call you back at 10 o'clock PM to get some info? Ask what tables, pressures, shift points, and parameters are being chenged. Finds out just exactly what he changes and ask why hypertec, superchip and Nelson are more.

Go to this site and read these posts and "Choose wisely grasshopper."

If he really does do it all for that cheap report back to us. One of my reasons is if I have a problem I can meet him at the track and we change it right then and there. I get feedback from other Nelson tuned owners right here in "Nelson Country", no waiting for someone to get back to me in the mail. And the fact that I went from 17 mpg hwy to 20 mpg while making the truck shift smoother and drive more responsive makes me a happy camper.

well thats just the thing....i know a couple guys who ordered one from him....they love it...they said the guy's name is Jessie. They said he was a VERY nice person and knows what he is doing. You CAN drive to where he is, but i have know clue where it is( i read that some people do this)a bad thing is he usually has waiting lists, so i hope i wont have to wait. oh, just to mention this summer he was running a summer sale, all pcm tunes only 75 bucks!!!

Best money I ever spent. Been at another forum for awhile and wait4me started out just like this, everybody questioning his ability, until people started getting them. Now it's all about jesse and his inexpensive tunes.
You wont be disapointed.

can he change as much as nelson can? or is it a less intense mod? anyone have any details on this mod vs a nelson? any proof like dyno results or someone that has used both.

Just about anything you want to know about wait4me tunes.

After reading most of those threads I am still searching for the answer to, "What all does he change?"

Bueller, Bueller, Anyone, Anyone?????

Jethro3-my bad, I was generalizing. Used that url to help folks see what others think. Not to many fans of anyone other than nelson here.
After looking at his website, I'll give nelson an A+ in the information dept., even if I don't understand what it all means. :confused:
I'm your "average joe" truck owner, wanting my truck to run like it actually had a 6.0 in it, and it does with the wait4me (extra 3mpg to boot). I have very little knowledge as to what parameters he changed. Until looking at nelsons website I didnt even know there were that many things to change. :screwy:
I read on a forum somewhere were someone (can't remember which tuner)actually rode with a guy and changed settings while they were riding. Said he could feel a difference with each change. Now that I'd pay a premium for. Until then I'll just settle for my $157 "commoners" tune.

Bottom line IMHO, if your lookn for some specific preformance enhancing settings, check with them all till you get the answers you want no matter what the price.

That was Allen... He's actually playing solitaire and using Jedi mind tricks to make you think your truck is changing. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: No, I'm just kidding.

Oh, and is your +3 MPG in city or highway driving?

Pappajoe,

Allen won't let us look at what color the solitare deck is... Jokes aside, when Alen and I went for the ride I quized the shit out of him and made sure I got what I wanted and understood what each change did. I took almost 2 hours to get my mpg tune. The driveability was a bonus.

I grew up a gearhead and keep looking for more answers as I went to college way back then trying to do what they are now doing with computers for cars.

I am not saying Jesse is bad, wrong, or otherwise. Until I get answers I can't really endorse or say otherwise.

Each to his own, I don't get paid by Allen but I understand his approach and appreciate his treating me with respect when I do ask that one, one stupid question. Find a tune that meets your needs and budget and make sure you ask enough questions to get the most for your money.

I will say this... everything else aside, I do wish Allen's prices had been nore like Jesse's

Has anyone else noticed that poppajoes ENTIRE history on A.F. postings has been the last couple days and ALL OF HIS POSTS are about wait4me tunes. Do I sense someone advertising in disguise?

Could be... I have noticed that many of us here (myself and jethro3, for instance) "advertise" for Allen, tho we're certainly not getting anything out of it. We just have a product (service) we like and we're proud of it.

Blender, I think there is a big difference between mentioning something you did or had done as part of an overal history of posts on many subjects (like you and Jethro) - compared to someone who has had a TOTAL HISTORY of only posts that advertise Wait4ME. Lets see now - incredible price - references from someone who only posts about this service and nothing else - "guarantees" of mpg increases - and no detail about what is actually to be done. If its too good to be true - it probably isn't true. Meanwhile Nelson is the real thing.

I can show you a 3 month CONSISTANT MPG increase im my truck over a 3 month period of about 1.2 MPG city. Allen told me to expect between 1 and 3 MPG increase with my tune, and I got it. Probably a better increase on the highway, but I don't drive there that much

You can see my mileage before and after the tune; I had a whole month's data before the tune.

Actually it does look like that but hey... I didn't start this thread.

Seriously though, I found another forum several weeks ago after buying my truck and have worn it out looking for information about everything and anything. Thought it would be interesting to see what other truck forums were out there. Well lo & behold, I found this one and a thread about the one thing that I actually felt made a difference for my truck, so I thought I'd respond, mighta helped the guy out. Next thread was a guy wanting to spend some money and if I understand this right, a tune is probably the best all around preformance mod, right?.
Anyway just thought I'd throw my 2cents in when...... :bricks1:
Turns out I'da rather served time in pink panties with bubba as a bunk mate!

Blenderwizard-my 3mpg increase is highway. I don't drive it much (company car) so I can't tell you anything about city mpg. In all honesty I only had about 1500miles on it stock and 1000 of that was a road trip. Thats when I learned I needed to do something about preformance. Last road trip with tune was more fun AND better mpg.
I wanted to do some comparisons with this http://www.myscantool.com/ using the stock pcm and my tune but I havnt gotten to it.
Before anybody says anything, I don't know if the scan tool is junk or not. Just got it cause I like toys and it looked fun. Don't know if its accurate at all but maybe it will be good for comparisons.

White lightning- No, I don't sell scan tools either

Ever think that maybe with his prices he is trying to get his name out there or maybe hes not trying to rob people blind. I have corisponded with them and for around $75 you cand send them your pc or spend $157 and keep yours and get a pc from them. Even turn your tow button into a race buttom all with better milage. I think I am going with Wait4me .

MY2C

now for my opinion. I dont know this Wait4me dude, but I can say one thing about Nelson. I call for my first tune, we talk and he get its dead on! My truck ran like a scalded dog. Stayed like that for almost a year when gas prices slowly crept up on me. I just 2 weeks ago got my 87 octane tune, with no questions asked he got it dead on again! We did a few other things also and he was very knowledgable about everything I've asked.
His customer service is TOP notch, you can't ask for any better. Yes it might cost more than the others, but you get what you pay for.

I also took into consideration the people that have used him before me. I mean look at Slowprocess and 02Denali.....That also told me alot. If they used him, I know it must be good.

And as for the tow/haul race button, I feel no need for one with my Nelson tune..maybe you just need one to keep up with me :D

I have a Wait4Me tune and it is exactly what I ordered. I asked for a little more seat of the pants feel and more MPG.
He upgraded my tire size, raised the shift points to 5800rpm and removed speed limiter. Over all the truck runs smoother, upshifts, downshifts are firmer, downshifts are instant. Trucks shifts into 4th around 95mph and still pulling the whole time. I am seeing around 3mpg better fuel mileage after I quit putting my foot in it. IT IS THE BEST $157.50 I HAVE EVER SPENT. I orderd the extra PCM so I would have my stock as an option. You have to have the Crankangle relearn done after installing unless you send him your PCM. I like others have searched the net all over for post on his tunes and reputation. I would say 95% success rate on the first shot. I think most people that ask for a general tune and the happiest. After reading hundreds of post on his tunes, it seems to me that the people that try and get technical and tell him what to change ie.. remove 50% Torque Manament, remove abuse mode, and other mods are the ones that are dissapointed. Jesse knows what he is doing, more so than the people requesting the mods. If you order one for a stock truck let Jesse make the decision on what you need and you will be happy.
That my 2 cents worth.

I have been spending alot of time on "another" forum in the past few months and it seems like ALOT of people are very happy with their Wait4Me tunes. Yea, with the Nelson you can do a little more, but if you are on a budget and just looking for something good, I dont see why people wouldent get it. In the end I am still going to get a Nelson once I get the money, but at the same time it seems like Jesse knows alot about what he is doing and feels that if he has a lower price, with "almost" the same tune, he will get more customers. Just my :2cents: ....

No one will deny that the Nelson tune is top shelf stuff..it is!!! However, it's not the only thing which works and works well. I decided on the Hypertech as I wanted the option of being able to make changes at the drop of a hat. With the mods I've made I'm seeing a solid 17+ mpg in the city which is 3 miles above what I got before. The shifts are great and she runs great. I have a couple of more power train mods to make which will help even more. What I like most about this forum is there always seem to be a wide variety of what people do to improve their trucks and what's available for the same. Keep the good stuff coming!!!
