Troyer Performance?

Does anyone know anything about Troyer Performance when it comes to tuning the 6.0L PSD? They do great work on the gassers, just not sure on the diesels.

Based on several other forums, unless you are willing to wait for over a year, I would pick another tuner.

Mike Butler, 5startuning.com (fordmdb), has an EXCELLENT reputation and is a forum sponsor.

Another option is Power Hungry Performance.

For the 6.0l Sparten and Innovative seem to be at the top of the list. I would go down to the 6.0l forum and ask. Lots of guys run tuners there. I looked into Troyer but I wasn't waiting 8 weeks for 3 tunes for my Xcal. I went with 5 Star instead (for my gasser) and am extremely glad I did.

Too bad, Troyer used to be pretty active on here and quick to respond to people's questions. However, they were mainly tuning for gassers.

Another one that I would suggest for gassers, I don't even know if he does diesels.

I've talked with a few people that have had some iffy experiences with regard to them. However, I personally can't speak to that.

Spartan is still high up on the list, but they are the more expensive option. I got lucky and got on their beta testing for the 6.0.

Innovative(whom I have gotten tunes from when I still used the SCT tuner) has actually gone down the list as being hard to get ahold of and get tunes from. I personally didn't have that problem, but this seems to be a recent development.

The tuner for SCT that has taken Innovative's place seems to be Matt at Gearhead.

I bought my SCT X3 from Troyer. I got tired of waiting for my custom tunes so on Friday I called Mike @ 5 Star. We talked around noon and I had my custom tunes in my email by 5 pm. I'm currently running a 87 performance tune and my truck runs great. When I get my tunes from Troyer I will compare them.

Spartan has some of the best time proven dependable tunes for the 6.0 Matt knows that engine better than any body short of navistar, I've got nearly 100k on a 07 with some pretty serious HP gains I tow over 15k regulary and it has had 1 trip to the dealer, a EGR cooler at 96k, that's with no studs, never pukes no turbo issues no starting issues! He's a magician! IMHO!
