Troyer or JDM SC upgrade

Hands down who's my best bet. Ups and downs of both etc. etc. I'm about a hour from Troyer when I'm visiting my mom. Which can i expect to get in with first. And if I get the JDM how easy is it to install. Or would my best bet be to have it done professionaly (thinking so) What should i expect to pay for install if I go that route. Sorry for so many questions just trying to prepare to have it done soon.

Troyer Kit

JDM Kit

Either one of them is going to want to dyno it to tweek the tune.
They are both great tuners.
Tough call!

Edit.
If you're going to be that close to Troyer why not have him just do it all. Tweek the tune and everything.

Troyer is the best, but his mail order wait time is insane. However, if you make an appointment and go to his shop, that takes care of that little problem.

However, you are only about 30 minutes from VMP in Florida. They do excellent work too.

You could email or call Justin and ask.
He's fairly prompt in responding.

Buy the kit from Troyer and have Justin do the work?

I can't speak for the Troyer kit, but my JDM kit made 420/460 with a dyno tune by PSI Motorsports in TX. This was with long tube headers and the Mosaleen/Troyer idler setup also.

What do you know about PSI Motorsports....are they a good company to do tuning? I ask this because they are about 10 mins away from me and would like any opinions.

MRLSU2U !

I for one think you are spending entirely too much money on your truck.....send some of that green my way I can help with the surplus!

Seriously however....I'd go with Mike since you can pop in whenever you want. I'm sure he can be an asset to you for other mods once he gets to know you and your truck. Cant' put a price on that!

You can never spend too much money on your truck. No but in all seriousness. I've been saving up my entire teenage life and up until now. Busting my butt after school and 10 hour days on holidays and weekends. So now it's time to reward myself. I was proud to be able to walk into the dealership and pay cash for my first HD. It was totaled a month after purchase . However it wasn't my fault and I made a considerable amount more from insurance than what I had originally paid for the truck. So I therefore have a nice chunk of change to throw at this baby. Once it's gone it's gone though. You'll see me less enthusiastic about adding 40 dif mods at one time. But until that time comes I'm gonna have fun and go all out... On a different note. I have decided that I will more than likely be going with Troyer for the SC upgrade. I'll be calling him tomorrow to set everything up. Thanks everyone for the input
