WOW, did I miss something in the 4 hours I was gone. I think the original point of this post was Richard had a new tune today from Doug, and it runs like a scalded dog. It is no secret that vendors will and do supply their products at a reduced rate or gratis for people to try and to promote. I have tried just about everyones tunes, I have tried some really great products, and I have tried a few turds. I will say that of the two tuners that are here in this thread, DJ and Doug, I have tried tunes from both, I have bought products from both, and I have received products, (tunes) at no cost. I have always given my very honest opinions of the products, of what works, and what doesn't work.
as honestly as I can be, I will put it straight out on the table. To date, I have tried high power, tow and other files from DJ, Doug, Innovative, Biava, John wood, TS performance, Edge and Quad, (oh yeah, and Mitch:bang :kick: ). of the SCT tuners I have tried , DJ, Doug, and Eric at innovative are all really close in performance. As of today, I run DJ's strongest looney tune in my truck as a daily, because it just works the best for me, and I bet at the track it would put down the best ET's. That is not saying that Dougs or innovatives are bad, quite the contrary, they are exceptional. DJ's tune is stronger than anything I have tried from the others, and has the characteristics I like, inching out the others. (I have not tried Dougs newest tune yet, but you can bet your ass I will after all this controversy). The strongest, baddest, hottest tune I have ever ran in my truck was one from John wood that almost got us arrested at Houston last year, however, it was written to haul ass down the track, and thats it. The EGT's were through the roof, and I felt like the motor was gonna go boom at any second, but again it was written to run down the track, written with the truck in front of him just to see what it would do. I would never run it as a daily. I have no doubt any of the others could write something similar.
Folks this is Competition diesel, this isn't asskissin.com or touchyfeely.com. Most of ya'll, that are here are here because you like to compete. DJ and Doug compete, as do David Lott, and Brian Bunting, and many of the other vendors. Each of them would bend over to help the other in a pinch, and they all share their information freely. I truly have no horse in this race, and my opinion really means nothing more than yours. I am friends with and a customer of both DJ and Doug. I think they are both great at what they do, and I know they both think they are the best at what they do. And for that reason and that reason alone that is why I want them to do my tuning. If you don't believe your the best, and back up what you brag about, you aint putting your product on my truck.:rockwoot: :rockwoot:
