"the Tune" by SVC vs. 93 Perf Tune by 5*

[Bulletnjm]

Is it really possible for a tune to cause that much wear on an engine?

I think they're referring to the harder shifts causing more wear on the drive train.

Many thanks for the replies. I now understand the main differences between the tunes and appreciate everyone's feedback.

Cheers!

Oh ok

Nope or and yep but also leaning it out to much. Why you should not go over 50% ethanol unless you tune for it.

I'm currently running the 5 Star 91 performance tune. (FWIW, 91 is the best we can get in Oklahoma). Initially, the shifts were way too firm/harsh for my liking, so I asked Mike for his assistance. He immediately sent me a modified tune which made the shifts much smoother.

Regardless, eventually I will probably give the SVC tune a try, as I've read nothing but good things about it. Furthermore and based on what I've read, I'm also inclined to thing that the SVC is more suitable to my driving style/habits.

Anyway and IMHO, I don't think you can go wrong with either vendor and it'll just come down to personal preference.

Yep yep, agree totally!

I run an 87 performance tune from 5 star and my shifts aren't really that hard, is it because I run a lower tune?

I know there is a difference between the economy and performance tunes in their shift strategies, but the performance strategies should be the same. My 87 economy tune from 5* was very smooth and I liked it a lot.

And "really hard" is very subjective. Do you mean it's very similar to stock?

Yea I really like it, I feel like it smoothed the shifts out, I feel like the stock tune had a more of a bang shifting through the gears
