Thank you Openclasspro...I try to have an open mind when it comes to things like this in life. Only real thing that I feel that is ever really worth getting upset about is when someone is messing w/your family. Outside of that, I try to be a chill fella...

Dang, now I do feel kinda guilty.

LOL, no not really tho cuz I'm sure Mike doesn't spend 24/7 working on tunes or on the dyno, but I DEFINATELY do feel horrible that it has taken this long for atthelake27 to get his tunes. If he still hasn't gotten them I would certainly call Mike up, and in a respectable and yet stern tone, ask him when he should expect to receive them down to the week and the day. Unless when he ordered them, TP advised that they were taking 13-14 weeks at the time, then yes, I would agree that this is totally unacceptable. The only reason that I am comfortable w/waiting 8 weeks is b/c that is the time that I was advised how long it would take. But if it takes longer (like longer than an addt'l week to 10 days) then I would really feel vindicated to be upset. But at the same time, I think you should approach TP VERY sternly, yet respectably.

LOL, be careful, you might come out w/some headers installed & an OBD-II port where your azz hole used to be!! LOL

All set up to download a nice 93 Perf tune into your colon. Would that mean that you would have an extra 20HP for pushing when it came to taking a "Number 2"? Or would that require a Tow tune?

SCT.. NO.

Superchips.. YES

Different companies...

And from what i can find out Mike has only been writing his own tunes from 2004. So with that being said Justin would seem have more background writing tunes? So 15 years keeps getting smaller and smaller on custom tuning...

So according to I rdie suzuki Mike has only been doing custom tunes since 2004, where do you people get this stuff. Mike got one of the first 2004 F150s ( which his wife currently drives) avaialbe and drove to florida and worked with sct to produce the first tunes for the new body style trucks. Sure sounds like a job for someone who has never written any tunes or anything??? yea

ANY aftermarket company gets test trucks from everywhere, BIG DEAL.

Lets get the facts straight from Mike:

How long has he been using SCT Flash to custom tune?

He drove it down to Florida to have Justin at VMP show him how to tune it.
