I'd say SCT but then again, I may be just slightly biased.... :-)

I'll agree with you on this one.....

To the op......PHP hardly ever does email tunes for superchargers.....just like most of the other tuners it should be dyno'd......the only time email tunes are used is if revisions are required....none of the pre made tunes for superchargers that are emailed have never been spot on and leave much to be desired.....

Bingo and to further add to what the 3 of us said having a global platform allows you to bring it to a different tuner if you have issues with one.

I'd never go PHP ever again. Terrible wait times, no call waiting (just luck of the draw if its not busy) and the worst worst customer service I've experienced. I should also mention glitchy tuning, just look up the stutter/shudder/shake issue. Tried getting that solved, but never an answer for months. 1/10. I'd take less power for better quality of service and tuning. You can't beat local dyno tuning for sure, if you come across an issue they'll respond to calls, can easily log data etc. Way better approach.

I've had very good results with email tuning from two different dealers for two different centri set-ups. I would do it again and again.

SCT xcal 3 here with vmp tunes, been running them for over 100k miles with absolutely zero issues
but of course on a n/a engine

best thing for you to do is to get dyno tuned though
you could get a email tune and run that until you can setup a dyno appointment (jj @ wms, jlp, vmp....)

important thinking important going to do a pop tune for my edge unit cause ill be putting the truck away for winter soon. then come spring switch to a set and bring it in for dyno tuning. hopefully by then i can have my trans built and intercooler purchased. im deff going to up grade to larger investors too and mass air flow sensor. so by spring all will be ready for a complete dyno tune.
