What Programmer / Tune / Tuner??

[Bulletnjm]

You should wait a little while before you put a tune on a brand new truck.

I've heard this before too and agree. I have almost 6K on my '14 screw. I know there are a few sponsored tuning companies on FRF. Is one better than another?, is it personal preference? Has anyone done a comparison, or are they both very comparable?
Thanks!!

Lots of people run 5 Star and now SVC. Personally I ran 5 Star for a long time and am now running SVC. Wanted to try the new tune from SVC not saying anything bad about previous tune. Very happy with the smooth shifts and the way the tune "feels" with the new tune. Feels more responsive and much smoother shifting. Seems to be a power gain as well. No dyno other than butt dyno. Just my 2 cents worth.

if you are worried about powertrain failure and a warranty then u should wait. with that said i tuned my truck with very low miles and had no issues. SVC or 5 star should be near the top of tuners u would want to call and talk to and get a feel for them. talk to them and she who makes u feel warm and fuzzy. i dont think u can go wrong either way

I agree with nickpic. I tuned mine immediately with 5 star with less than 500 miles on it. Ran 12k on it. Never a problem. Changed between 3 different tunes often. Just got my Whipple Sc, no issues so far. I wouldn't worry about it. The difference with the tune is noticeable for sure. Worth every penny.

5 Star? More like 1 Star. Their tranny tuning is awful.

I tried to talk to them about possible modifications to the tranny tuning and they just told me that if I don't like it then put it back to stock.

Speaking from my experience only here. I had the 5 star tune for a year, actually 5 of them. Switched quite often. Thought they were great, and great customer service. Definite improvement in the vehicles performance. I have noticed a lot of folks lately are recommending SVC. Mike at 5 star has always been responsive, and I did ask him to change one of my tunes for specific needs, and he did it no questions asked very quickly. Maybe something has changed since last year.

Both are great people to work with. They will adjust the tune to fit your needs. Just depends on what's most important to you.

Looking into a tuner.

Looking to get a tuner. Still torn between Livernois and 5 Star. Not sure what the difference is between the two, and honestly don't know where to buy either haha.

Please give me some insight on the differences and where to get them

Look/Research the SVC tune too before making your final decision.
