Finally bought tuner!!!

I finally pulled the trigger on the SCT tuner from Mike at 5 Star! Excellent service, fast shipping, great product. Tested the tow tune right away, couldn't wait, wife thinks I'm crazy!! Pulled even better than before, which I was pretty skeptical about! Performance tune also produced noticeable gains. Will have to try economy tune on a trip soon! Overall excellent buying experience, Mike is VERY informative and helpful, highly recommend

Form one crazy guy to another, I just love what Mike did for my Ex! Glad you jumped on board.

to add to the craziness, I just put a Gibson swept Side exhaust on and just received the K & N FIPK today. I need to wait for a dry day off to install it.

I am obsessed with power now. Hope you are too.

Totally agree with you. The SCT tuner from Mike at 5 star tuning is great! I have seen 2+MPG already and the power is very noticable. Best bang for your buck in my opinion!

Like I have always said, it's sometimes easier to get her forgiveness than her permission!
