There are a lot of shops that will do that. Do an internet search. Careful though - you don't know how good those people are. Troyer would probably be the safe choice.

I think but not sure that Troyer locks his tunes so that another shop can not modify it. Most tuners will lock there tunes so that other parties can not borrow there tuning. Best bet is to call Troyer on this. I still need to datalog mine just to lazy right now to load the software on my laptop....

I think you can do that if you have the files that Mike custom made for you. But why taking a risk? Just emailed them your datalog and dyno they will update your tune. And please do this things at the nearest time not like what I did, it was my big mistake I spend 100bucks for Dyno without my datalog.

I'm confused...if you bought the initial tunes from TP why wouldn't you want them to tweak them?

(but I agree I doubt anyone else could tweak TP's tunes...they have to be protected someway)

Hello shtrdave,

No, others cannot alter our tuning, contrary to what that now-banned individual claimed. You can pay someone else to completely re-tune it from scratch, but that would only result in lower power gains and a lot more expense, as nobody else has our experience tuning these F-150's for performance, so it would not be a bright idea in any case.

Just FYI - if we ever found someone even attempting to gain access to our tuning, they would end up in a losing legal battle immediately over theft of our intellectual property, as we do take all legal measures to protect our R&D - as a couple of entities have found out over the years the hard way.

So the smart thing to do is to do your datalogging and get that info to us, so that *if* any adjustments are actually needed, they are done correctly and to maximum safe benefit.
