Looking to buy Tuner

It absolutely takes a week or 2. I put the Omega tune on my truck a few weeks ago. The first hundred miles or so were slow, flat, dead, like I was dragging a 5k pound trailer with flat tires.
the next hundred was much better and the next. In all, I'd say it took about 500 miles to reach it's peak and it is much stronger than stock.

Same with MPT custom tunes I have.

Interesting. I have thought about trying an MPT tune, just haven't pulled the trigger.
That's one of the benefits of the tune, you can switch them around if you don't like it.

5 tunes from 5* different octanes, and 2 from MPT.
Can't see the 87 eco or 87p/t tunes as it's scrolled up. And another MPT tune on the way. So 9 tunes from 3 companies in all. The only two that are disappointments are the 5* 87 eco tune and this Omega tune, all other tunes rock and I'm sure the newest one from MPT will be just as impressive.
I like variety.

Maybe you should contact Ken @ Oz Tuning about it. Something may be wrong. He worked for MPT for years before branching out on his own.

Cause it sucks. I told him the only way to resolve the issue is to refund my $$ but I know that's not going to happen so I'm just going to suck it up as a lesson learned, stick with what I know works.

It's worth repeating that not everybody hates the Omega tune. Browse the Web and you'll find tons of guys who have run MPT, 5*, Omega, SSI, etc. tunes and most of them give overwhelmingly positive reviews of the Omega.
Also, there are guys like me who switch octane from 87 pump gas to E85 on a fairly regular basis, and spending a few minutes loading tunes each time is a PITA. Therefore, the Omega tune is really nice for us.
Thirdly, the more aggressive you get, the more you risk engine damage or even fires like some guys have experienced. Some of the pics I've seen are scary.
Bottom line......what works for one guy might not work for the next, and vise versa. It's wise to read ALL the reviews before picking tunes.
For the record, I've had tunes from multiple companies, and I've got a dyno shop locally that's tuned some of my stuff on the rollers, so I'm not a newb and I do not get paid to endorse any product.
