I wasn't happy with MPT.
Unleashed, SoCal or Livernois are your best bet in my opinion. The plus with Unleashed and SoCal is that you can have both if you go with them since they and many others use SCT.

The difference there being 5.0 and EcoBoost. Has anybody had unleashed tune a 5.0? Has SoCal tuned one?

Eco tuners might have more knowledge with turbos than with 5.0s! What other tuners have trucks like jlp at the track and on the dyno seeing real world results? If I get low 13s on the motor as it sits right now Iam happy.

Only reason I'm not using the 5* is I'm past the 6 months free retuning and don't want to pay to get some more fine tuning done. The 5* has too much of a touchy throttle in the 1st to 2nd gear shift for me. If you want more details PM me.

I understand that about the 5*. My wife has been driving the truck lately and I've left it in the 87eco which has none of that. But over the weekend I was using the 91 race tune and forgot to switch back or let her know. She asked me last night why it kept scratching the tires in 2nd and I guess she roasted the tires leaving her work without really trying to. I found it humorous, she did not.

Ahhhhh yes, missed the boat on that one. Can't speak to tunes for the 5.0.
Good luck, man!

My JLP e85 tune was slower in the 1/4 than my 5star 91 tune. It is also less drivable because of the super aggressive trans tuning. Just butt dyno alone I could tell the JLP was less powerful. Backing it up with numbers made me realize even more that I wasted money on the JLP tunes. That doesn't even get into the absolutely horrible customer service I got from them.

Their tunes are super aggressive to the point ok knocking sometimes. The shifts feel like they are going to break the rear end. They basically make full race tunes but their other tunes suck for normal driving.
I've reviewed them a few times in greater length but that's the short version.
