Ok, I got my 5Star Daily Street Tune for $40 and I tried it.
I like it.
For those of you who have read my previous threads on tunes, I am not a racer nor do I like my truck to be "twitchy". The 5Star Performance tunes made my truck twitchy, which to me means a bit too aggressive for my taste. I felt the shifts were a bit to harsh and the the truck felt like a dog wanting to be let off its leash.
Many would actually like that. Good for you. Not I. I prefer softer shifting, but I want no lag (good throttle response), smooth acceleration but power when I step on it. I got that with the SVC tune v1.
I had to ride the last coupe of weeks stock while I was troubleshooting an AC problem. Boy, what a difference.
I was about to put back the SVC v1 tune. The v2 tune was also a bit twitchy for me. Not as twitchy as the 5Star Performance tune, but I felt the SVC tune was PERFECT. For me. Power on tap when I pressed the accelerator, smooth shifting.
I prefer 6th gear to come sooner rather than later. Mike was able to customize my 93 octane tunes to shift closer to 40mph. Its a personal preference.
The SVC tune shifts around 45mph. The 93 Daily Street shifts a little bit sooner, around maybe 43 or 44. This is coasting and slowly building up speed.
All the tunes are a bit rough shifting when I first install them, but they smooth out after a bit of driving. I have not driven any of the tunes long enough to make any comments on MPGs.
I am going to drive the 93 Daily Street for a bit, then try the SVC v1 again, since it was my favorite, and I'll compare the two. Right now shift wise they seem pretty close to what I like.
I am not sure what other differences there are between these two tunes outside of shift strategies. I'd be curious to know. But my butt dyno is telling me that both of these are thumbs up.
I will make a post when its time to email me for revisions
