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?????

poppajoe · #9 08-31-2005, 09:15 PM

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.

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.

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.

No, I'm just kidding.

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

jethro_3 · #11 08-31-2005, 09:33 PM

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.

BlenderWizard · #12 08-31-2005, 09:37 PM

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.
