I don't see any other tunes beating the smoothness of SSI's tunes. I have had t4's, t5, and now on T-REX. If you email Shawn, you probably won't get an email back. But if you call him, he will fix you up. I don't race on track so no track times but I guarantee I would put my truck up against any truck around me. Heck I've raced mustang gt's and a couple newer corvettes. I actually killed the stang..I hooked up and he couldn't. One vette I kept up with and the other straight up left me. Save up your money and get one of each. Shawn's are expensive but you get what you pay for.
This is only partially true. If that was the case I would probably just get the T5 and have it over with. 2 separate occasions in a row I placed more than 3 calls before I got any results. The first tune he sent me was the wrong strategy. Then I waited almost 4 weeks running around stock to get the corrected tune. It finally took me PM'ing Rodney on the "other forum" to get the damn tune.
Like I said I really don't want to turn this thread the wrong way. I think it's off to a good start, just want everyone to understand why I'm looking elsewhere. His tunes are good and customer service can be decent depending on what day you catch him on.

Here's the thing, only a handful of SSI guys ever run their trucks. Cbvet just ran a 99 trap with full bolt ons and Raptor tune. Faster than trex, right? Now other than drivability, which I can't attest to, how are SSI tunes the greatest tunes available? LMS=raptor in the 1/4.

With Shawn, your tuner is a phone call away.
When SSI sends someone to the track with a prepped race tune, trucks have repeatedly demonstrated faster time with faster trap speeds. That said, it is the drivability that really sets Shawn's abilities apart.
Lots of guys will PM all of this information described above, but it seems to stay off the boards for some reason.
In any case, there are absolutely loads of options and compared to the 40+K we drop on these vehicles, a couple of hundred to try out various tunes to see what you like is a spit in the bucket.

Yup,
and I think that's bullsh!t. My money is just as green as anyone else's.
Think I am going to give the boys at either LET or MPT a call tomorrow. I will still give an unbiased review once I decide who I am going to call and get some time on the new tune

I Run the MPT 93 race tune the latest version, i am on my 3rd revision and just sent out for my 4th.... Every revision gets better than the last, driveability to me is stock with loads of more power. Mike and the MPT crew have incredible customer service when they promise something they deliver. Id recommend them to anyone. But i have no experience with any of the other tuners on the forum and i am sure they would all take care of you too.

I run a business and can tell you without question that people that treat me well get far better service than those who do not.
You are starting to argue and your anger is showing.... Thus and anyway, heading somewhere else is likely a proper direction for you.
Shawn will deliver another platform paradigm...... and those that are open to the options will have something else to talk about.
I'm still on the T4 SnI, because in the plethora of threads I've read and tunes I've run - nothing compares. One day that might change.
