Pretty sure all he was interested in from the get-go was to talk shit. But, it's all for the consumer....yeah.

******* thumbs up
I know it has only been two days since installed and really only tested it yesterday and today to a lesser degree. The more I drive it, the more I like it. I will have to postpone the "going back to stock tune" test I had planned just because racecar lol.
The logic behind the trans tune flows way better than all five programs I had tested before this. It drives very smooth. No excessive gear searching. No intrusive engine breaking. Quick seamless downshifts. It will downshift one or two gears appropriately then upshift smoothly.
What I like best is that there really is more power for the truck to accelerate on a higher (numeric value) gear without downshifting. There is significantly more passing ability without downshifting. Unless you just press on the throttle a bit to more predictably then... downshift. This is what I really appreciate the most. It just rolls effortlessly without unwanted intrusions. I could be chuggin down the highway in 6th and get good passing acceleration without a damn downshift.

I think I explained my concerns quite adequately. You didn't and you haven't. Something about your tone...

You didn't explain anything of substance. You told a cool story though, bro. But hey, you're not here to impress me and I'm not here to impress you (though since you're a Ruger fan it must not take much). So, basically, what the **** ever.
Done with this side tangent on svc's thread. Looking forward to installing this tune and providing factual feedback.

Mid 12's-13 is usually perfect for NA motors. FI on the other hand likes 11.5-11.9 from what I've found on my previous Mustangs that were custom dyno-tuned.

O2 spacers??? Wish I would have learned of them a couple of years ago.

I tuned my truck with the SVC tune last night after pulling off my Volant intake and replacing it with the stock intake.
Holy SHIT! I have roughly 14,000 miles on the 5Star tunes, mostly 91 performance, and within 150 miles of driving on the SVC tune I can guarantee you the SVC tune is a night and day difference.
Shifting is silky, silky smooth; the truck is never searching for gears and quickly drops down a gear or multiple gears whenever I punch the accelerator. As far as engine power goes, the truck flies now. Jeff and Jarrett weren't kidding about the third gear pull, 30-92 mph is intoxicatingly fun now. I don't have actual dyno numbers, but based off seat of the pants feel alone my now 100% stock truck with the SVC tune feels faster than the truck did with the Volant CAI and 5star 91 performance tune did. It's that good of a tune.
The way the truck drives is different from the 5star tunes. While Mike's tunes are good, they aren't smooth and I've always never been really happy with them because I felt like something was off about it. The power delivery wasn't as smooth and consistent, the truck would sometimes respond jerkily. While 5star shifting is light years better than stock, the SVC tune shifting is a world's difference (better) than 5star.
My fuel economy has been absolute shit though, the truck is now so fun to accelerate around everywhere and annoy the hell out of my girlfriend in the passenger seat trying to play games on her phone. It's seriously like a whole new truck.
I realize the SVC tune is expensive for a canned tune, but after driving on it I appreciate the extra effort put in and overall quality of the tune. I'm the type who will almost always spring for the higher quality product; local craft beer over PBR, Fox over Ranchos or Icons, Raptor over FX4, crack ***** from Compton over birdman's mom, etc, etc. sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it's not. In this case it absolutely is.
Quick note: I know this review is overly glowing about this tune. I wasn't paid for the review, my Instagram followers will know I'm not the biggest SVC fanboy, and those of you who know me personally know I'm pretty straight forward about things like this. I'm genuinely thrilled with the tune and wanted to share my thoughts with you bros.
I'll continue to report as I put more miles on, but as it stands right now, this is a 5 out of 5 stars tune (pun intended).

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'm curious, what is the lowest speed that the SVC tune will shift into 6th? On the 5Star 93 Performance tune, 6th hear would never engage below 50. On the "soft" version of their 87 Performance tune, the truck can shift into 6th as low as 40mph, which is great for coasting. Im curious to know where the SVC tune falls on this.
