tillman speed tunes
So im getting a jlt cai and deciding which one to go with. Im stuck between bama/am and tillman speed. I know a lot of people have the bama but any one have opinions on the tillman speed tunes?

I spoke to Chris Rose today but he now has a full time job with American Muscle but still tunes at Tillman. The owner of the shops name is Chris TILLMAN. I was a little confused at first too with the 2 chris's lol

ok so i tried out tillman and here is my impression.
93 performance tune: I hear a tiny difference but im not really feeling a difference, this is their "daily driver" tune. but the main gripe i have is stock i was getting 18mpg around town, now it dropped to 15mpg. with all the reports that you get the same or better mpg this is not what i was expecting.
93 all-out: this one is better and i feel the pull all the way through the rpm range. it wont rip the tires with the slightest of foot taps but its not a slouch either. i do feel the car having more but its not a day and night thing like many have said ti would be. i dont know how this one affects MPG but at the end of next week i will have driven it enough to figure out.
im going to get 3.73 and a new fuel filter installed friday and im hoping it will help a little mpg wise. but to be honest...
..I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED.
i spent more money with tillman because talking to them on the phone seemed like they knew what they were doing and others said they back their stuff. Now i called twice inquiring about the tune and twice they said " it will be sent to the technician" but i have heard nothing back. i since learned one of the main guys (chris rose) moved to AM and Bama.
if i had to do it again i would do brenspeed or bama, not only for what is a better tune, but for support, price, and its hard to beat a free tunes for life deal when youre only going to do bolt ons.
i dont mean to post this to throw sludge but I am disappointed and i just cannot recommend tillman at this point.
