Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Will continue to research and specifically will read up more on Unleashed.

Most of what I've read so far on this forum has been about 5* and results seem pretty mixed.

Yes this forum is full of 5 star fans. Their tunes have never been very strong but have had some good shift strategies. Mpt is also mixed with some loving them and others not. Some love unleashed and others seem unimpressed. Then there is ssi. Their tunes have been head and shoulders stronger than anyone and they have a tune only 2.7 running 12.4 at 108.x. In the 1/4 mile. The guy who does the Ssi tunes is "proud"'of his product and that can rub some folks the wrong way.

In the end each has their qualities so it depends what you want. All out performance, small gains but good shift strategy when towing, hand holding customer service , etc. depending on who you choose you can have mild gains to amazing gains that seem like you bolted on an extra turbo..

I got the 5* 93 oct tune and was not that happy with it so I'm just using the canned tunes from SCT and they definitely help. Clears up the turbo lag from stop/start and overall just faster... seat of the pants likes it..

I've found that for canned tunes, sct does a pretty good job

Thanks for the additional info guys.

In all honesty, I was pretty happy with normal Sport mode for the additional performance. Once I went up a size in tires, however, that low-end snap was impacted and it noticeably feels flatter/slower now.

I would also be happy to see better response in shifting - At times there is a lag in downshifting when trying to make a quick pass or Lane change.

Anyway, thanks again - Will report back any details if I decide to pull the trigger.

I went with five-star strictly because of the warranty option and peace of mind whenever I get some extra time and money I will be throwing my truck on the Dino to make sure they do live up to what they advertise. I do feel the truck feels a good bit better but the tune doesn't leave a lot to be desired so we shall see

Now I have my 2.7L back from tuning @ MPT. Mike and the guys did a great job. You can really feel the difference. Currently running the 93 octane performance tow tune. As you can see by the dyno sheet it is an increase of 94.5 rwhp (388.1 rwhp) over the stock tune (293.6 rwhp). Torque increase is 95.7 (ft-lbs) over stock. If I decide to load the PRX tune horse power would be 394.4 rwhp, torque 438.8 (ft-lbs). Almost 400 rwhp from the little 2.7L. Only mod to the truck is an MBRP 3" SS cat back with the MBRP resonator.

Thanks again to all the guys at MPT Performance!

Very nice! I want to put a tune on mine so bad but still vacillating back and forth. I even emailed Torrie @ Unleashed and started asking some questions. My biggest hold back is still reliability, even though I'd only be looking to go with a conservative tune @ 87 octane. I think part of my concern is due to my general lack of kbowledge and experience with tunes and not fully understanding what the real risks are (if any) if not applied overly aggressively.

Whoa are you sure that's a 2.7 tune only running 12.4? I know there's a 3.5 tune only that runs a 12.4 but didn't know about a 2.7. Who tuned it?

Great numbers better than my 3.5 Eco numbers by a lot.
What configuration is your truck?
