Hello all,
Thought I'd type up a quick review of my experiences with both companies and the end result. I made the swap to Ken Bjonnes after installing some larger injectors I had picked up. Lund wanted an extra fee to retune the vehicle so I went another route.
I will say this that Ken was easier to deal with and didn't seem like I was bugging him like Jon seems to come off like. Although it took longer for Ken to get my tune dialed in, I feel the tune is much better overall than Lund's. Ken did finish the WOT revisions on the first day, but it took about 5 days after to finalize the cruising logs.
I wont fault him for that though.
So first and foremost, the pedal feel is now a lot more linear.
Power doesnt just seem to feel like a lightswitch anymore. With lund i could give partial throttle and you'd hear the car accelerate lightly and there was a point where it then just starts screaming. Ken is smooth all the way through, the car really drives a lot better.
MPG!!
So I'm only halfway down my second tank, but holy crap. I went from mid-high 14's low 15's to high 18's low 19's on average.
Substantial difference for sure. I do some mixed city and freeway driving. I'm not going WOT everywhere and being a douchebag or accelerating too harshly. Most of my driving is pretty calm actually. This was a real unexpected bonus for sure!
And lastly, the power difference. It's nothing I can feel on the street as of yet because I can't hook-up regardless, but as for dyno numbers they only vary slightly. My lund tune was done on a Dynojet which typically read higher than load bearing dyno's and I made a whopping 696whp at 12PSI with 16º timing. I had the car tuned on a load bearing dyno(like a mustang dyno) and it cranked out 711whp at 12PSI with 19º of timing.
I can't wait to get more parts so I can actually get some track time and see how she does. But for now, the car drives better, gets better gas mileage and makes more power than I was a few weeks ago. For those that are on the fence as to what tuner to go with, Palm beach without question.
I'd like to thank [MENTION=9610]jayman33[/MENTION] for the dyno time up with Hypermotive
