Joined in January after I got my 2011 SCREW after taking 4 years to build a 2002 F150 Harley truck - but it was bone stock and we have all seen enough of those so no pics until I've done a few mods.
Since then I have added a JBA lightning exit exhaust, Airiad intake and pre-filter, a tune from MPT (that I'm VERY happy with) Bedrug, rollup cover and old school (because I'm old) KC light bar & lights
Here's a few pics and one of the wife's ride too - we are an SVT family

Someone who has an MPT tune that doesn't talk like a pre pubescent asswadd, welcome change. There was/is a young man floating around here who had great things to say about the MPT tune, but his demeanor was more than a little irksome so no one took him seriously. Generally folks on this site go with the 5star tunes and are happy with them, maybe you can get yours dyno'd and share the results and expand a little bit on the MPT and what you like and don't like about it.

I know what you mean! about pre-pubescent - at 63 I think I'm past that.
I have been building and working on hot rods since I was 15 and that's a LONG time ago. My first build was a 1960 Falcon with a straight front axle and a 427 side oiler.
No ranting and raving. I dealt with tuners for years getting my HD to 535 at the wheels so I do have experience. I'm not waving the flag for one or the other because I have 0 experience with 5 Star. I have 3 tunes from MPT - 87 & 91 octane performance & 87 economy. I have only tried the 91 and like the throttle response, shift points and shift firmness. I noticed about 2 MPG better than stock on Shell 91 octane driving the same distance, same roads & about 350 miles. Their pricing is good and they are easy to deal with - better than 5 Star? I cannot comment in any way.

And THANK YOU for your service!
