Why do you say it would be horrible programming. Is it the guy or the software used or what. Is it just the lack of professionalism that I should be worried about, or the stuff that he is using. His own truck was tuned at the race track, and they programmed one yesterday.

Do you have another form of contact that way I can text you, or send you his number in some other way?

All of the above. I just wouldn't trust "some" guy to tune any of my vehicles. It's not worth what could happen.

Do you know of a link. I would like to take a look at Chrome to see what it can do.

I just got off the phone with him. The tuner is called sniper. He said basically it is a SCT xcal that they bought the rights too. I asked him many questions and he answered all with confidence. He has done many trucks and mustangs, and even gave me some shops and people that I could call and ask. He is currently working on starting a buisness, so right now it is just him.

And really Troyer is just "some guy" that knows what he is talking about. So what is saying that Matt (that his name) doesnt know ****?

Really? I think Troyer's knows a little bit about tuning F150s. Bill Gates is just "some guy" too!

ETC Tables/Driver Demand?
Torque Truncation?
Transient Fueling?
LWFM?
Knock sensors?
Spark?
Open loop?

I have been doing some serious research, and everyone seems to be happy. He tested and created tunes for many people on different forums. Mainly expeditions, including his own. They all seem to be very happy. If for some reason I am not, I live 20 min from him and could pay him a nice visit.

here are some of the sites, his name is green03 and Mattr on the sites:
(Aahh the power of google)

Well it sounds like you've clearly made your decision regardless of what we have to say, good luck.

That isnt true. If there is some good reason not to use him I wont, but just speculation is not going to make up my mind. If there is something that makes people unclear of his work or that he just guesses then I will avoid him.
