You run the same chance of tunes that anybody sends you as being hit or miss for your truck and your driving style. Maybe running more of a chance of those tunes being a miss if whoever sent them to you has really had those tunes tweaked for their truck and it's polar opposite from you.

There really isn't a substitute for having tunes written specifically for you.

Wow... That sure is super nice of you. I sure as hell wouldn't send somebody tunes for free that I paid for. If only there were more people out there like you

Well, I have to agree with getting specific tunes for your truck for a couple of reasons.....

first and foremost, if you don't know the source of the tune, that the guy who wrote it is not a "tuner in training", you could end up with a very big, very heavy paperweight in your driveway

secondly, from the tuners perspective,
the good ones invested a lot of time and effort into writing and testing them..
they wrote the tunes, they "hope" to get paid for their work, and get repeat business...

Would think you would like to be paid for your work too

NOT calling out anyone here...
but our gooberment is doing a good enough job of fostering for and providing for freeloaders, they don't need any help from us

Dude, uncool. tuners spend allot of time and money writing them. I would go with a known tuner and pay to get exactaly what you want.

I would go to one and they would so go ask the other one. Go to the other one and they would say what did the first one say. Round and round it went, never to stop.
