When did you send in your CPW's?

Oh nevermind, I see that you got your CPW's in on 5/4... So they're running right at a 2-month turn around right now.

I am in buisness myself. And I could not agree with you more. I don't care what the answer. I can't stand when I am told something because it is what I want to hear.

Anyway I received my tunes on Friday 7/6 (10 weeks) and installed Sat. I am very pleased. I enjoy the way the trucks drives, very smooth. IMO

Really? I got what I paid for and didn't have to wait so long, its almost like having your cake and eating it too. I agree to a certain degree but I'm more than sure that I'm just as happy with my VMP Tunes compared to Troyer. It didn't take 2 months either, 2 hours to be exact.

For someone not trying to start a "tuner war" you sure do reply a lot.

Anyway, your not comparing apples to apples. Bringing your truck to the tuner and getting dyno tuned vs. buying tunes via the web is 2 completely different things. I'm sure people that bring their trucks directly to Troyer get their tunes just as quickly as you did from VMP.

Ok, then let me compare my apples to apples... I also went to VMP Tuning, and got my tunes in just a few days - BUT INSTEAD OF PHYSICALLY GOING TO VMP, I GOT THEM VIA EMAIL WITH NO DYNO. And for the record, I had TP tunes 1st, and I wasn't happy with them. So I then went to VMP. IMO, VMP's tunes are superior to TP's.

Is that "apples to apples" enough?

I guess if we feel strong about something, we shouldn't post.

I won't say anything about the next part of your post since it's already been answered for you.

Yes, YOUR experience is an "apples to apples" comparison, Thumpers is not.

It seems he feels the need to go out of his way to bash Troyers tuning capabilities while having no personal experience with them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving an opinion of a product that you have actually used.

No, I do have personal experience with them. I've already posted about it as well.

Well I am going to have to eat my own words on this one. Got a call back from TP on Moday afternoon just as promised, and was told that I would have the tunes no later than Wednesday afternoon. At about 5:30 pm on Monday I was getting ready to close shop and the phone rang and it was Mike on the other end telling me that he had just emailed my tunes and I should see them any second. Just as said they showed up and I installed them that night. So far I can tell a difference, mainly in the trans as far as the way it shifts and much less slipping in day to day driving. The big test came last night as I ran my buddy's 02 5.3 chevy. The first time we ran it was stock to stock and he beat me by 3 truck lengths. He does have 3.73 to my 3.55 but he is running 285 tires..so that puts us pretty close. Last night I had him thru first and second and it took most of third for him to pull 3/4-1 truck before we had to shut them down. Conditions were the same as the first time we ran, even he was impressed with the overall gains. Now I'm wishing that I would have gotten a 93 performance instead of the 93 tow, but I can always add another. Those chevy's make a lot of HP on the upper end, but I still wouldn't trade him.
