I have NOT read one thread where someone said they had a problem or "my truck runs like sh@# now with this tuner." I tend to think that with several thousand guinea pigs ahead of me that I made a great choice and my truck runs 500% better than when it was stock. Maybe us "sheep" are onto something huh?

actually troyer would probably give you a custom tune. meaning one he has saved on his computer for your truck, copy it to your tuner, charge an exorbitant amount of money, wait a few weeks and send it back
did i just say that?

many other people have similar if not stronger backgrounds in the tuning field, but i dont want to make this a "my tuner has been a fully trained ford tech for years" "my tuner is ACTUALLY allowed to attend SCT training sessions because he is an exclusive SCT dealer" "my tuner is a hell of a nice guy who has personally met troyer and cant say the same" " my tuner gives the SAME if not better product for much less $ and much sooner" kind of thread

ANY time somone mentions a vendor other than Troyer, or a product other than what they carry, you get "testy" about it. We've gone over this w/the Xcal2, the Volant....geeeesh.
C'mon & give us a break here. SoundPer4mance is just mentioning another vendor that he is happy with that gave him a great product at a great price w/great service.
