make sure its updated and that its not married, cause then you have to send it to SCT and pay like 75 bucks to un-marry it.
I just got tunes from 5 star cause I heard good things and they seem cheaper when you buy a unit from them. I think they charge 100 bucks for 2 tunes. Not sure about MPT but heard ok things about them too.

I know 5 star is fast. thats why I picked them I have read posts of MPT taking as long as 2 weeks to get tunes to people. I sent my code to 5star and within an hour they emailed me my tunes.
If you do get from 5 star I would ask about the hard shifting. I haven't tried my performance tune with the adjustments on soft shift that the tuner gives but I plan to this week.
Good luck

I'd go right to JDM. They are literally one of the best tuners in the Country for our vehicles. Dyno tune will be safer and they can monitor everything. After having numerous issues with email tunes, I'm done with it.

I used JDM to Dyno my 710RWHP Lightning They are great. THey charge like $675 for a dyno pull. I dont think my 200hp F150 needs a dyno tune. It should be fine with a email tune from. MPT charges $75 for 1 tune how can you go wrong. Just looking for a 93 octane tune. I don't need 5 tunes. I will call JDM and see how much they want for 1 tune i can drop my tuner off. They are 10 mins from me.

JDM wants $350 for 1 tune. 5 star wants $105 for 1 tune. MPT wants $75 for 1 tune. I am only looking for a 93 octane tune mods are AF1 intake and borla muffler. Not sure who to use
