Most of the people on his forum were here before and are great guys with a passion for speed. What SOME consider a daily driver would put the average guy in depends or pins and needles on the throttle. In my dealings with Shawn most didn't want the tune he was making and had to tone it down for them.
He uses a poor email system and for him if you register on the forum he can check on what you want easier.
Buying a tune comes with no guarantee the same as any software you buy for your computer. Buy Microsoft office and try and get a refund if it doesn't work or crashes when you use it. Pay to play if it works you got it made if it don't move on.

I will say this, I have tried several tunes and have yet to find one that meets what I want other than SSI. For me, it is just daily driving, being able to pass efficiently, decent mileage. I was driving T4 Snow & Ice until recently, and now T-Rex Junior. Both get me exactly what I want. I dabble in others even just a few days ago and they all come up wanting in some way. I like gentle throttle response for normal driving and power when I need it. Even most current street tunes, including SSI are just too aggressive on the throttle, but these two tunes just nail it for me.

T-Rex Junior? This is like trying to keep up with the T series, but on a lighter note, by the time it done you can name it T-4 again because I think he found the fuel limit for stock.

I got the filter but still nothing on the tunes. None of the 5.0 guys have the new trex or velociraptor, I guess they are still datalogging and tweaking. Running the leading edge tune now. Erick is great to work with, still working out some minor problems.

Nope, not yet. The fuel rail pressure is the same for the T Rex and Raptor as the T4 is. So we still have fuel left.

Anybody that's debating about getting a tune, straight up get ahold of Shawn and get the raptor or trex tunes I promise you there's no other tunes on the market that compare to these tunes Shawn makes!

There the best trust me,you won't know what your missing till you try these any of the t4,trex,raptor after you've tried those there's no going back to the tunes you've had previously I PROMISE THAT!

He's a class act as well super cool dude easy to talk to, he's just a phone call away guys if your unsure about anything with tuning he will take time to explain everything you need to know

JUST DO IT, you won't regret it

The statement above is total bs. He tunes are not the best and definitely the worst when it comes to being safe.
