I used Mike at 5Star for my last 3 trucks, that's why I've ordered my Sct with 3 & 3 from him.

I went with Mike, I posted a small review of his 87 perf/tow tune in the other 5 Star thread.

I towed 6000-7000# 950 miles with the 93 SCT canned tune 950 miles, though the mountains in triple digit temperatures with no problems.

Just as a quick update, I just went from 5star 91 to Innovative 93. Both are way better than either of the canned tunes. I know people have said they liked 5star shifting better, and I can say that maybe they changed something, but Eric has both power AND shifting spot on at least now. With only 25 or so miles on it, I love it! Now to be fair, I told them I am not going to tow with it, and its ok to push it. But it has a level of power and response even over the 5 star tune. He even made me a "firm shifting" tune, and I literally would not use it daily because I caught 3rd gear in it on my way home from testing it! Was too harsh for daily driving, but it was stupid fun, I laughed the whole time!!!!

Thanks for the update.... What did u mean you would not use it as a daily driver? Do you think his other tunes are just as powerful with less of the harsh shifting? And would u use the older tune as a daily driver??
