Tune recommendations

[Adran]

Howdy all,

I just recently got given a NNN (I count my lucky stars, should buy a lotto ticket ahaha) and am now considering a tune more heavily now.

I've seen different options on who to get it done through and was after some advice on what people have experienced. Looking for cost vs performance vs customer service/retuning in future

1) Josè at td5 inside
2) alive tuning
3) empire tuning
4) storm tuning
5) shack here on the forums

Thanks in advance

If he's agreeable/has time to help, definitely recommend Shack

I haven't actually been doing any tuning for a while due to work/life, but I've just started to do a bit again.

I'm surprised the Jose Fanboy/lynch mob haven't turned up yet to kill this thread.

Would you mind if I shot you a message then?

I've heard good things from across the board, asking for peoples experiences vs the what the consensus is different

Td5zilla comes highly recommended , currently running with empire but when I switch it up lll be talking to him

It all depends on what each individual expects from a tune. Full on competition, a slight improvement in torque for towing or something in between.

[shack]

A good tuner should be able to cater to most owners requirements, the way I try and tune should cover most bases, and I'd imagine most are similarly able to do the same.

Some of the early "duration hack" tunes however weren't so good!

[V8Ian]

Are you saying one size fits all, James? Or decent tuners can write individual tunes or various tunes to cover individual needs?

[shack]

Not necessarily "one size fits all". All my tunes are bespoke.

But a bespoke tune designed to work with the particular hardware the owner has, should perform admirably across the board. The main exception to this are manual vehicles that tow a lot.

There are of course specific mods for certain situations, but I focus on "common rail diesel like driveability" across the board, but of course within the bounds of the technology we have in these engines.

So no variable cam timing, many are still using a stock or hybrid turbo, not VGT, and of course no ability to have 4 or 5 or 6 shots of fuel per stroke.

I just love TD5's they are great to work with and tune!

I've tried a few over the years, both for myself and customers.

number 5 is at the very least, the equal of the others, sans the marketing.

Agreed, I have a tune by Shack, the manual TD5 drives like I think it should have from the factory.
