[QUOTE="cpost6, post: 807138, member: 15005"] I have done an extensive evaluation of 5* tunes in both of our Raptors and my son and I are very satisfied with the performance of their Daily Street tunes. We were so satisfied with the 93 Daily Street tune that we did not feel the need to try any other tunes that were available. However, there has been quite a bit of discussion on various tunes so I decided to contact Jeff at SVC on Dec 6, 2014 about trying their tune. We had several conversations about what I was trying to accomplish. Jeff and I decided to first try the SVC tune on my Raptor with stock air box and drop-in aftermarket air filter. Jeff sent me a V2 tune on December 13, 2014 and my first impression was how similar it performed to my 5* 93 Daily Street Tune. The SVC tune came standard with Global Spark set at 0 for 91 Octane. Shift points were precise, power was steady, and throttle response was immediate. WOT throttle response was strong! The SVC tune has stock drivability under partial throttle and high performance when demanded along with great shifting! After running the SVC V2 tune for about 2 days I contacted Jeff about making the tune very aggressive in the bottom end and mid range (where I spend most of my time driving) while still having the precise shifting. I wanted my Raptor to be very strong off the line! Jeff contacted his tuner and we decided to do a data log. Based on the data log, Jeff then sent me another tune to evaluate.
