5 Star Tuning recommendation

I have had my SCT for about a month now, and today I recieved an email from my saleman Mike asking how the tunes were doing and if I had any concerns.
How FREAKIN cool!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never had a business do that, and for that, I would recommend them to anyone.
Thank you

How does 5-Star stack up against Troyer tunes/service? Is one as good as the other?

5Star has earned an excellent reputation as does Troyer. The issue with Troyer is his wait time. You can expect to wait 4-12 months for custom tunes.

Wow, quite a read. I'm all for a good custom tune, but 4 to 14, to 24-weeks. No thanks. I'd have trouble waiting 2-weeks to be honest. I'm already not liking the "attitude" relayed by many who have interacted with him. Trash talking the competition is not cool IMO.

What's 5-stars turn around time? How are they with ROUSHCharger tunes?

Your best bet is to call Mike at 5Star and discuss your specific needs. He's and excellent tuner and will deliver...
