Welcome! Nice of you to join us.

No prob Shawn, only speaking from my experience. I plan on doin a dyno run with you when your in town to get the people of the forum some numbers - just a heads up .

If anyone else gets a tune from Shawn, please post here with your experience. The internet is full of good information and full of even more bad information - so lets get a single-source-of-truth goin for the F150 owners .

Kinda high at EDIT: $150 for a tune - but like I said, you get what you pay for. Also, if you put it into perspective as to what you get, EDIT: $150 is a steal. A tune on the Eco transforms the truck. Many people pay more than that for a CAI that does practically nothing for these trucks (I am one of those people LOL).

Perhaps we could do a group-buy type situation where forum members get a discount?

SHhhhaawwwnnnn?????

Just throwin that out there...

They are usually 150.00 but I didn't have his box code so that 100 extra was for that. I will always go the extra mile for my customers. Its nice to see some honest posts in this forum. SVT perf could learn something here. Ahh..that felt good. lol

Tuning is all this guy does. He's okay at it. Of course I'm kidding. I've been involved with Socal and Shawn for over 12 years. He's tuned EVERY vehicle I've ever had. My truck will be no different. Shawn and I have done things in the automotive industry that have made other tuners run straight for the "discrediting operations". When people told me, "that tune is a ticking time bomb", "it's not if, it's when it will come apart"...I said we'll see. And boy did we ever! We've taken stock ford engines well north of 900 HP, and consistently set the bar at cruising altitudes that jumbo jets cringe at. Shawn has been tuning for years (safe to say decades) longer than almost every tuner around. There are always exceptions, but I've recommended more than 100 folks Shawn's way since we've met, and they are always return customers. We (I say we because I ended up working with the guy as he's the only person I trust with my cars) have pushed the envelope for years now, and the auto industry is better because of it.

Do yourself a favor. Call, set up an appointment...or hell, call us and quiz us about software and applications. It will change your mind about the tuners you used to use.

Just ordered mine just now, I've got Livernois and 5 star 93 tunes and that's what I just got from Shawn too. Looking forward to seeing how it runs. He had to order my box code too. I've got AML6.

Awesome! I am very interested in seeing how the Livernoise and SoCal tunes compare since I have never tried Livernoise (dont want to fork ou the 600 for the new device).

I am sure that Shawn will hook you up to compensate for the extra 100
