yokev, have you contacted MPT? When they sent my tunes I thought my 1-2 shift seemed a little more harsh than the rest and emailed Mike. He looked at it and tweeked it and emailed a revised tune and it is perfect. I would think he could help you out. I know little about tuning and even less about the economy tunes offered, didn't see the point in my truck and wasn't concerned but I do know Mike is quick to respond with questions and help.
For whatever reason 'Custom' tunes have a habit of locking out the speedo-re-calibration feature on the programmer-MPT says it's SCT's fault, they say it's his, and I've inquired with other 'Custom' tune 'writers', and for whatever reason this feature is also locked out on theirs. MPT sent me a revised tune to account for my tires but it didn't change my speedo, and there's others out there having the same problem with this particular programmer.
In the past I've owned diesel trucks, thus have used programmers like Bully Dog, Edge, and my favorite-PPE. With these programmers the speedo-calibration feature is outside of the 'tunes' themselves, so it's an independent feature. They also use tire size to calibrate the speedo as opposed to RPM like the SCT does.
In any event my SCT programmer doesn't calibrate my speedo to the bigger tires I've installed, so it's useless to me simply in that regard.
Without this function, and considering my mileage didn't increase with the 'Custom' tune(again, I don't 'blame' MPT for this, as there's just too many variables they can't control), I have no reason to keep messing with it.
The stock mapping is smooth enough for me.

My mistake I missed the post on page 1. I did not post to start a pissing contest between tuning companies. I could really care less who likes who best and being that I don't race, slip times don't mean anything to me either. I do like products that work and appreciate good customer service both of which I received. Based on that I will recommend MPT to anyone that asks.
