I have at least 15 times what it is doing, it still isn't fixed, I know he may be overloaded with requests for tunes right now but wasn't when it first came out. I really thought after my box code incident that I posted earlier in this thread that it would fix it but it didn't. I know I'm not the sharpest tack but I do know how my truck drives. I'm happy that it works for you guys and the info lance has given me is great and Shawn is a hell of a guy but I'm just gonna cut my losses and move on. I keep seeing no negative feedback, so I felt it was fair for me to post my expierences and my issues to other people.
I know you were the 2nd and I was the 3rd to purchase the tune, when refering to Lance I was refering to the shift strategies that you are talking about, I got that fixed because I wasn't going to drive the tune like that either, I explained to Shawn to give my 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st downshifts cause I knew what you where talking about. At least you got a tune that you are more than happy with and for good reason.

Mine is short bed but I have the heaviest exhaust known to man lol. Either way I have you by more than 2 mph in the 1/4. That's gotta say something for power.

You would have a better argument comparing waist size then "heavy exhaust" on a 6k lb truck.

So my 3 mufflers/resonators that weigh over 100lbs aren't an argument when he's talking about rims and gas tanks? I mentioned exhaust jokingly but if he has a valid point, so do I.

Just poking fun... Maybe if you race commando you can trap 103mph? In all seriousness the numbers will speak for themselves in the end. Plain and simple these guys need to get to the track and run their bricks down the 1/4 not base times on "SoCal reviews".

It takes a big pair of balley walleys to give an honest review when it goes against the grain of what others think. I understand that you are not trying to **** in Shawn's or anyone else who likes the tune Cheerios, but not everyone is the same. What might work for ten people might not work for one and vice versa. I was hoping that your shifting issue was fixed by the correct box code and I am sorry to see that it wasn't. I am still on the fence about this tune because one of my past tunes that I have bought where everyone gave rave reviews at first, and it turned out not to meet my expectations. After so many revisions I just decided to silently walk away and enjoy the tunes I already had. That is why I decided to wait a while to get the long term reviews. Thanks again for your honest opinion, and anyone who flames you for it needs to go pound sand since they don't drive your truck.

I was the first to say Socal wasn't as good as livernois and I don't even have a livernois tune. But socal is #2 until it can prove otherwise.

Bruce call him rather than email.
