Hey everyone, looking at getting some custom tunes for my SCT livewire, I was searching through the forms and all the tune threads are dated 2011, so figured id see what tunes people are running in 2016 and the pros and cons of the tunes you're running. I have heard good things about Matt, Vivian, and Eric. I am currently overseas in Durka land and plan on studding and deleting and all the goodies in the mean time. Thanks
I run Eric's extreme street, street, and tow tune. X street adds ridiculous power but honestly it shifted a little hard for my taste when first tuned but ID helped me adjust shift firmness. Really no complaints on his tunes. Sorry I can't attest to any other custom tunes.
Drew has good tunes as mentioned.....super aggressive throttle though, which I hated. From a stop, if you don't pay attention, you'll get whiplash just trying to take off.
Nate at WPE has some good ones as well. More linear power than others (most have what's referred to as a "light switch" effect).
Lots and lots of people run Matts, so that should tell you something about his.
Eric's, as mentioned, tend to shift harsh...but he was one of the first few tuning these things, so he's been around a while and his customer service is top notch.
My opinion....try several. Each truck acts/responds differently with tunes from different tuners.
Im running Cheap Trick's Looney_pct. Its my first custom tune and Im very impressed with it. Lots of low and mid range power with very smooth shifting. I will be trying Eric's x-street next week, I heard it has more power but I am a little concerned with the shifting being too harsh...we shall see. I really want the Panty Dropper but they no longer do emailed tunes and I'm not planning a trip to Texas any time soon.
Will do, I'll be talking to Drew about a stock-studs safe Raped Ape tune also. The sound of an overly touchy throttle sounds like a blast to me. > Should have them both by Friday so I'll report what I find this weekend. May even get into some details by exercising the X4's datalogging. :nerd:
