Shawn still has a line that he will not push over. There are a few members pushing it to that line (Corey and Boosted). Are the tunes hot, YES. Are they too hot, depends...I wouldn't run a lvl5H every single day...but people do.

I'm just letting know, Shawn has a line----and he's not going to throw anyone's truck "over the edge". You're comfortable with LMS. and that's awesome. There is no way that LMS will push the truck to anywhere near SoCal w/o datalogging. Even Jcain said that he was logging and not running the same "cookie cutter" tune that everyone else was.

I saw LMS last dyno pull. They basically stated in so many words that it wasn't dd safe. LMS is trying to push the.envelope, or push it over the edge. I personally think Shawn is doing it much safer, by data logging every vehicle, so he knows exactly what is going on with that truck.

That's a novel concept. Until the lead time becomes 2 weeks + for an updated tune from one man.

Then the herd becomes restless and attention to detail starts to slip. Tell me it won't happen and I'll call you blind.

That's why you data log. I'm not saying that at times stuff slips...that's with any tuner in the world...

I do like knowing that I can call Shawn when there's an issue and if it's a major concern he has me something back in around 5 hours at most and typically within an 1 1/2 hours.

I've seen reports of faster times with the 3.55 so I suspect the main benefit for 4.10 would be to offset larger tires.

What about those waiting a week and sending reminder emails? I'd be a little annoyed knowing you guys were getting updates in an hour and I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for tunes.
