I’ve had an AED tune before on my 2012 GT and I loved it! Although I was originally going to go with Shaun again, I was curious to see how palm beach dyno, and Lund racing’ tunes compare. Granted I know Ken B used to work for Lund racing.

You have already done your research since you picked the best coyote tuners out there. I prefer Lund Racing but that's not talking down on the others. Any of the 3 will get you dialed in.

After my procedure later this month, I want to install an off road x pipe and pmas cold air intake, get all 3 tunes and dyno tune the car to see how close they really are within each other. Right now I’m thinking maybe Ken B at PBD

Shaun’s Coyote is ridiculous. If you are running a FI auto I don’t know how you don’t go with him. Trapping 160...sheesh!

Jesus that’s fast... I was going to buy a daily driver earlier this ear and do a auto swap but unforeseen health issues arose and I had to see to those first. I want to do minor weight reduction, (race seats and rear seat delete) with full bolt ons and a m6 to see what’s the best time I could run before going swapping to auto.

I also like to row my own gears but I have to respect how well many of these auto cars run. I don’t want to trap 160...that’s a bit much for me!

back when I had my coyote I did a lot of research between Lund and AED and all the similar combos with either tuner, It always seems like the AED cars made slightly more power, so this my reason for going with him, I was extremely pleased with his tuning and will use him again

They are all more than capable of getting the job done. My advice is to send them all emails describing exactly what your goals with the car and see who responds back. While they are all great tuners customer service will vary, some will be better than others. At the end of the day I want to be able to contact my tuner if I have a question/issue with my car and have a response in a timely manner.

I had my Boss tuned by AED when I put on the CJ. He responded very quickly and the car ran perfectly. Tune and drivability was better than stock. Car ran hard all the way to 8200. He always answered my questions. He's who I would go to.

Also tuned my buddy's 15 GT when he put on a GT350 intake manifold and again when he added Kooks long tubes. There was some knock after the long tubes and Shaun worked pretty hard to figure out and solve the issue. The tune upgrade for the headers and the troubleshooting was all free. My buddy's car runs like a champ too. AED all the way.

Apparently everyone I know who’s switched to a PMAS says they like it better than JLT or Airaid. But of course, those are just opinions.

Just an FYI if you go with AED, Shaun isnt the biggest PMAS fanboy like everyone else.

I have a Lund tune on my now blown motor gt500.
What I will say is I will never deal with a company that doesn’t list a phone number again and that includes HP Tuners also

Well on the HP tuner side of it, I just bought one then paid 4 credits to license 2 files. Which is 50$ a credit. One file was from there repository one was the one off my car ecm. So after I load the repository file on my ecm it won’t let me reload either file. I email them “because they don’t list a phone #” and after going back and forth and on their recommendations of trying their beta software to resolve the problem. I cannot still reload either file without it wanting me to pay for more licenses fees but I have already paid for both vins ! So they just tell me basically “ tuff pay again” I couldn’t believe that they wanted me to pay again for the same vin and thought maybe they didn’t understand my issue. Gave them my # multiple times and asked them to call me. They never did. Just would say pay again. I even said atleast give me 2 credits back out of the 4 so I can atleast get 1 vin working that I paid for but no go!

Lund tuned my gt500 and was pretty good to deal with but I emailed Jon JR about when he could tune my coyote and he wouldn’t give me a date just would say pay for it then I will let you know. I reply look I’m not going to pay and you can’t do it for months . He replies I don’t understand why you need a firm date. I replied we talked about this in a former email this car needs to be tuned on a Dyno so I need to schedule that. He replies just pay and we will get it done when I can and if I wasn’t happy with that go somewhere else.
Called Shaun at AED and he returned call same day and was extremely helpful. I was having an idle issue and he said figure it out first and gave me some ideas . Lund said pay first then figure it out
