Because tunes are so cheap, there are several people on here that have tunes from multiple tuners. Different tuners do different things, and its been said here many times that tunes from different shops really do act different. There was a thread about it that I started a while ago that blew up and got closed. But it had a pole with real people in it that had tunes from three or more tuners. Nobody completely understands how the new ecu works, and some tuners are still trying to get to the good stuff like the ti-vct settings. Other tooners have given up, and put out tunes that are complete in their eyes. I would rather have a tuner that is always perfecting the tune for my car, vs the people that made a std one and thats as far as they go with it. Not saying you guys are like that either.

We offer a custom tuning service. Your tune is built on datalogs from specific PIds for your specific vehicle for your specific area and your specific driving style. It is not cheap. $185.

You don't need to jump around from tuner to tuner if you have one who will continue to work with you until the tuning process is to your satisfaction and then update when you add a new mod that needs a revision.

does your free tunes for life include blowers, cams, nitrous, or turbo? or is it limited like bama?

Shaun finalized my tunes and was swapping emails with me up until late saturday evening and finished my tunes up on a sunday and still was emailing me making sure we were all good. By far the most awesome customer service i had ever had!

We will do revisions no matter what you add to your set up for as long as you own the vehicle.

il give shaun credit where credit is due. my tune is not perfect YET and i have known this from day one when i told him what i wanted. for everyone who got the cam tune they are happy as well as i BUT i wanted something a lil different that he is still working on and i knew it would be a work in progress. i am also VERY anal about this car and more so than other vehicles i have owned. hands down shaun has been WAY more than helpful and has no issues talking about the tune or even how to make a flamming Dr. pepper (its a shot type drink for you non drinkers, fyi shaun has that formula pretty good as well lol) and will CALL YOU to see how the car is doing and to explain more about what he is doing in the future with tunes. I have been some what of a test bed for some tunes and i am 100% cool with that b/c shaun has demonstrated to me that he knows what he is doing and is tuning on the safe side. there is other stuff but i have a promise not to talk about it but lets just say he will be my tuner for now on reguardless of any vehicle i may be into in the future.

now for rick at amazon... i wouldnt let anyone tune my lightning (at the time) besides him after the dead ass perfect tune (for a mail order) i recieved a few years back... Had the truck dyno tuned a year or so after the amazon tune and the tuner (owner of gearheads in arlington tx) could only pull a few more horses out of the truck and said he was impressed by how well the truck was tuned for a mail order. however when i talked to rick he seemed like he was more busy with other stuff than talk but i understand hes a busy dude and i wont hold that against him

so OP you cannot go wrong with AED or Amazon tuning im my opinion.

Yes, I cleaned this up.

It is about tuning options, not on if you agree with business practices, vendor competition or how you feel about certain vendors.

It is an open thread and they have the right to fight for business without being called names even if it is done with a smilie.

Keep it on topic.

**** this my comment was the least devisive of any others on here. I was actually diffusing the situation. I gave no specific opinions, thoughts or called names.

Repost my comments and lets see if anyone agrees with you. I highly doubt anyone will. And it's my damn topic so why the hell would I deviate from it??

Actually I still had it open luckily before you deleted it, so I'll repost it.

"No one is fightng over anyone. I will say this is a little bit of unwanted attn I never expected but one shop offering "proof in the puddin" for free is not fighting. Neither has said a negative word toward each other. Only a little distasteful bickering btwn amazon and a couple members, and that's not even bad yet.

So watch your accusation please, not really fair at this point. I will say that $185 isn't really a big factor considering the upfront cost of a tuner, which I have to buy another one anyway... Soo decision will not be swayed by circumstance as said before, as I'm still out a few hundred either way. Now if the whole damn thing was free... Well I'd be a dumbass not to jump on that haha"

Not to exacerbate the situation, but tread carefully. You're addressing a site admin, man. :shrug:

Your comment contained a quote which needed to be deleted.


Plain and simple, and if your gonna talk like that then you need to just like some others read the rules.

Focus on number 10

pike why do you need a new handheld tuner?

Bc I don't currently have one. I gave up on messing with NA mods after a few run arounds. No need for it, just gonna wait for the real build. But I was giving new hope in trolling this forum.. Which was the entire original purpose for this thread.

Made easy, 1-4 pertain to the thread, 9 and 10 pertain to you.

Welcome to SVTPerformance! In an effort to make your stay here the best experience possible, we have set a few simple guidelines.


1. Be respectful. No flaming (except in Smack Down).


2. Your posts should be constructive. Any member posting for the sole purpose of increasing their post count will have the posts deleted and the post count reset to zero.


3. Corrections to other’s information should not be condescending in nature. This is a forum for the exchange of ideas and information. You are expected to remain civil and express your thoughts in a mature manner.


4. Threads are expected to be kept on the original topic. If you want to discuss another subject, feel free to create a new thread in the proper forum.


5. Posting pornography (ANYTHING over PG13) is prohibited.


6. Discussion of illegal activities, including drugs, is prohibited.


7. Knowingly posting untrue information is prohibited and will result the immediate removal of your account.


8. Non-Supporting vendors are not allowed to post about available products or services on the forums. These posts will be deleted and the posters account disabled.


9. The SVTPerformance staff reserves the right to edit or delete any post/thread/etc we deem necessary.


10. If you disagree with the actions of the SVTPerformance Staff, express your concerns privately. We are always willing to listen, however, public bashing or criticism of the team will be deleted and possibly end in your banishment. If you comment in a thread on a PM or email sent to you by an SVTP staff member, without their permission, will result in an infraction or a ban.



11. No spam in sigs or anywhere else on SVTP. This includes banners or links to unauthorized vendors or other forums.


12. Bringing old threads and polls back to the top is prohibited. The definition of “old” will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the SVTP staff. If you can not reasonably infer what constitutes an “old thread” ask a moderator.


13. Rude and/or profane language is strictly prohibited in all forums except Smack Down, as is bypassing the profanity filter. If you have a concern that something you want to post may be beyond the accepted limits ask a moderator.


14. Racial slurs are prohibited in all forums.


15. Comments about the price or condition of an item for sale in The Market are prohibited so long as that information has been disclosed by the original poster. If you believe the price is too high express your concerns privately.


16. If you have been banned for any reason, even for one you believe to be incorrect, do not start another username. A ban is not an invitation to start a new account, and if the ban was temporary doing such could result in it being made permanent. If you have any questions or concerns about being banned or receiving infraction points privately contact the administrator/moderator that was responsible for the banning.


17. No one may post rude, obscene, lewd, and/or otherwise useless tags to any thread. Tags are not to be used for entertainment value. Tags are to only be used in a strictly informative manner for the purposes of future research and must contribute to the betterment of SVTP.


18. One SVTP usename per member.
