Interesting. Converted "SVC The Tune" into an "SVC 93perf Tune" :)


If fuel consumption is the least of your worries or you have a certain specification or adjustment you like we are willing to make the adjustments so that it is perfect for your needs/wants

You should, getting a tune for the truck is the best mod I've done. The stock tune sucks and is only good for showing that you are getting good gas mileage. Having the truck hold 1st gear longer was important because when I pulled out in traffic the truck shifted into 2nd and bogged down before I even got the front wheels pointed straight.


Glad we got the tune adjusted for you Eric to meet your wants! If there is anything else I can do you know my number! Pleasure working with you as always.

I haven't changed intakes since I can't decide on what I want on the truck, if I decide that I don't want an aftermarket intake am I looking much power lose if I get a tune from SVC? Is there a stock dyno sheet posted that I missed?

If I ADD an intake later what's it cost to return the set up?

Does the SVC tune care what exhaust I'm running?

Can the tune be set up for the cheap 87 octane gas?



Thanks, Brian


Hey Brain,

We can recalibrate once you decide on a tuner at a later date! We've been running the Volant and afe on the flow bench for the past week so maybe I can offer some Imput once we get more results! The picture that we launched the tune with shows the hp and torque increase. As for adding an intake at a later date we can easily rewrite and send you the tune when the time comes.

Appreciate the offer. Honestly, I find it perfect just the way it is, thanks a lot. I was actually outdoors today hammering it and man. Please don't change a thing on this thing :)

Have a "93perf tune" and while I do not believe it will do much harm. Really, mpg loss aside, do not see an advantage worth the utter annoyance I experienced for daily use. Just too intrusive IMO.

Glad your loving it! Defiently not making any change except for the few requests to meet demand! Our goal was to please all however there's always a few minor exceptions which is perfectly acceptable! Thanks again for all your honest feedback on first hand experience. This tune could not become popular without our great customer base.

What's your point? Are you the end all be all of gas engines and tuning?

Nope. Neither are you.

What ZB said about mileage claims. Dating back to water injection and Teflon oil additives, more recently spark plugs with multiple electrodes or magic metals, and now CAIs, super duper spark plug wires and hyper tunes, there have been many, many ridiculous mileage claims made in marketing hype. If a fraction of them were true we'd be manufacturing gasoline in our vehicles and selling it to the oil companies. That's the history.

So whenever I see a claim that a single product produces remarkable improvements in fuel economy, in this case on the order of 10 percent, my ******** meter pegs the needle. Skepticism of the unlikely is a good thing unless one is willing to believe that David Copperfield really did make the Statue of Liberty disappear.

This is a great approach. By definition, a tune is a customization. People that want tunes want to change things. Although some parameters can be changed in the tuner, different people will prefer different things the tuner (device) cannot change. Your willingness to tweak your product for a particular customer's preferences speaks very highly of you.

Oddly I'm in the opposite camp preferring shifts to go up quickly and not hold on too long. To each their own. :)

First, I didn't say I was. I just wondered why you think you're the golden boy of making this tune a fraud? Not enough to do in real life that makes you feel like a man?


Second, I don't understand why a 10 percent gain over a ****** tune with a ramped up throttle curve is so hard to understand? It's pretty common knowledge the reason the other tunes appear to increase throttle response is because initial throttle input opens the throttle exponentially more than the pedal input. That doesn't sound like a good way to get the most efficient performance out of any vehicle to me, especially not an already fuel mileage challenged tank like we drive.
