Love my Lund 93 aggressive and i have tried several. Depends on what you like. If you like everything smooth and power through the whole band the Lund is great. VMP is very smooth also. If you like a touchy throttle and harder shifts look at TORQ, Bama and Brenspeed if you want your RPM's to hang more in between shifts. Some of these things are cool at first but get annoying after awhile. Im sure the power is about the same in all tunes just some make the feel of the tunes different.

i talked with him about it yesterday... he already has it done. he's just not a fan of the drivablity of them and doesnt suggest them.

How come some people say it doesnt affect anything else but the idle?

Just want to get everything straightnd out before i choose my tuner Thanks:beer:

6900 to 7000 12shift. 100 rpm higher for the rest. Sometimes though if you get wheel spin it short shifts.

Lund 93 aggressive. Very smooth and great power through the whole rpm band.

How about the VMP tune? I purchased a file from Justin, but ran into some very serious troubles. I got a new file from Justin after my car was taken care of by SCT and I'm very nervous to try it to be honest with you. I have a BBR file and I like the power but it seems a little aggressive on the part throttle shifting.

what does everyone mean when they say touchy throttle? does it increase the sensitivity?? Still stuck in the old cable days, new to the driveby wire stuff, lol :D

granted i have a stick, if that makes a difference

That's exactly what it does...it's a false feel of responsiveness IMO
