Is Lund the way to go for tune??

[yankeefan3]

I am planning on getting my vehicle tuned in a couple of weeks, is Lund the best place to get a tune for my 15 GT? It's a daily driver, I just want something that will wake it up more and be reliable.

That's a loaded question. Anyone who likes them will say yes. People who like others will claim there are better.

I will say that I have a Lund and a vmp. I like them both. They are different.

Pretty much if you stick with any reputable tuner, you're going to see good results.

While a good aftermarket tune is certainly safe, I don't know they are any more reliable than the factory tune. In fact, with a tune there is a good chance you can/will have engine related warranty work denied. I personally am not too worried about this, as the coyote does not seem to have many engine issues.

That said, I personally would have thought twice about possible giving up warranty for just a tune and no other mods.

Well I do have a cai and exhaust but the stock tune feels weird with it, which I guess it should. I just want it to balance out my A/F a little think it could use some more fuel down low.

If I were to go with lund is it best to go straight through them or someone else like beefcake, lethal, etc

I agree with this, I will not be tuning/voiding my warranty until I have headers or a supercharger. Just doesn't make sense on a intake/catback only car IMO

Car is tuned already I just do not like the tune that is currently installed and I hear Lund is good. Tuners including SCT have told me a tune will not void warranty unless proven that was the cause of the problem. I'm not saying I won't get told anything by my local ford dealer just saying what I was told.

But like I said the car is tuned already so its just a matter of who should I change too??

Oh and i got the tune because I was getting system too rich codes after the cai. i just wanna know people's opinions on who's good with their 2015 GT tunes.

I used beefcake for my ngauge tuner with Lund tune for JLT, 93 octane, and 3" cat back exhaust and I'm really happy with it. I would encourage you to use one of the vendors/dealers active on this site as they are a little more invested in making sure everything is right than buying direct, in my opinion.
I had one or two little issues with the ngauge, very minor, and I was talking to, and exchanging text with, beefcake on Saturday morning until it was done. Thats excellent customer service in my opinion.

After it was all sorted and I was on my test drive he called me back to make sure it was all good, very impressed.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I've had good experiences buying from Beefcake and then also with Lund directly when tweaking the tune.

I started off with a different company than Lund, then I hooked up with Beefcake and switched to Lund, I picked over half a second in the 1/4. I just traveled over 3,500 miles on a racing vacation, pulling a trailer at 75 mph a/c on, 4K stall converter, 3.73s and got 22+ mpg and ran 11s in Joliet Illinois, West Palm Beach Florida and back north to Norwalk Ohio and I'm N/A. Now I can't wait to get my Ngage in my car to get the full effect of Lund. I just posted pics of my trip in the Dragstrip section of this site. The key thing is to be honest with what you're doing with the car when speaking with a tuner. Knowing how far you're willing to push your car helps the tuner.

In reference to your exhaust setup, I see you have the SP Longtubes, did you remove the neck down area on the lead pipes to catbacks and go a full 3" all the way out or did you retain the neck down factory connect leads???

I removed the necked down portion and installed a short piece from a local auto parts store. If I'd bought all at once from one place I could have avoided this issue. I attached pics.
