VA = Troyer Performance, there in Covington. I can't see someone driving 900 miles for VMP tuning Just kidding, I got my head in sand No really, my tunes are better since the truck went on the dyno. If I lived in Florida I would have gone with Justin

LOL.. There's probably other shops in VA though. I wouldn't expect you to drive 900 miles either. I know I wouldn't.

I also have the option of having my truck put on a load dyno and tweeking my tune for a small charge....otherwise I can bring my X-cal in for every mod I do for no charge.
SCT is going under.. there under a lawsuit right now even closed their support forum for the dealers. SCT screwed around their tuners and dealers enough that now their getting sued.. but that could be just a vicious rumor. but i know enough SCT tuners and they all tell me the same story.

I suspect that is par for the course when you live in Idaho. You probably have to drive 8 hours just to get decent Chinese food. Don't feel bad. I have friends in the Deep South who insist that I pack roast duck in dry ice, and FedEx it overnight to Alabama & Florida.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't have an F-150 dyno tuner in my area either. Most of the speed shops around here work on import cars with a lot of stickers.

yeah they're pretty popular around here too, i plan on parking on a few hoods. eat that SH^# F%#$#R

yeah im really surprised to see as many lightnings around here as i do and NONE of them are tuned. hell ones neglected as bad as my 4.6 was, i didnt walk away from that guy i ran.
i have chased down 4 locals that live within 15 mins of me with L's and none are tuned. go 45 min west and theres a few more than there are here. dont know them and they sure as hell dont stop to talk.

I finally did get my Tunes from Troyer on monday, having initially placed the order in January it was just over 4 months but boy was it worth the wait. It is like a whole new truck. Crazy HP gains all over the place, feels like there has been a parachute attached to my truck slowing it down until now.

Glad to hear you have good results, Mike is good. But over four months? Unacceptable, as life is too short.

Yea , I've personally witnessed what a tune does for a 3 valve - had my a$$ handed to me running an 04 3 valve whom I beat by 3 truck lengths before his tune

That's all he did is had it tuned, not sure where, but that is all it needed. - What difference that made. Maybe I should get the old 98 tuned now

Wrong place for this...but I'm not the forum police. After dealing with TP exclusively for YEARS, I do agree that 4 months is ridiculous. I recently went with dyno tuning over TP's and I'm happy with the decision, even though the place put me through hell on the gear install. If I had to do mail order custom tunes, I'd go with VMP. Justin was really helpful even though I'm not a customer. He even suggested I hit the dyno rather than to have him do my tuning. If you live in / near FL, make the drive.

BTW, jbrew for the love of god get that damn thing tuned already. What are you waiting for?
