I know this guy does alot of mail order tuning and sponsors a number of forums.

Check out http://www.performancetrucks.net they have a pretty damn big tuning and diag area. |
The problem is finding a tuner with a dyno that will handle 4 wheel drive.
And if you do find one, I assure you won't get it dyno tuned for that kind of money.
As far as this wheatley guy, the problem with those tunes is that they are a canned tune, usually fairly generic and usually at least 25RWHP less than a tune on a dyno or by laptop.
When I supercharged my last H2, I had Nelson Performance do a tune. It was basically the same thing... you gave him specs, he programmed your computer. Obviously without a dyno or laptop, he's doing the same thing... a canned, generic tune.
I'd love to find someone that would tune my ECM via laptop. Then you'd get real world readings.
The problem even with dyno tuners is they tune the car at WOT throttle in 3 or 4th gear.
Though they can change fuel tables, timing, etc, etc, there is usually a slight driveability that is missed while tuning on a dyno as opposed to a laptop tuner riding down the street with you.
My .02 worth.
