Brad (AJP Turbo) is the best! He's a SCT tuner/dealer and a pleasure to work with. Hit him up!

Besides Livernois Motorsports, the following are the most prominent, well known tuners (in no particular order, or preference) :

Unleashed Tuning (Torrie).
Gearhead Motorsports (Matt).
AJP Turbo (Brad).

I recall fellow owner's having posted other, smaller/lesser known independent vendors that performed tuning for their vehicles over the years, but don't recall immediately off hand those company names.

But suffice to say, the aforementioned one's are the "big four" with product offerings.

Plenty of arguing, debate, and opinion's on each of them.

So please, (to the OP) for the love of God, do your own research and decide for yourself upon scouring through all the posts on each of them, as to whom you will choose.

Last we need here is more rancor on who is best and blah blah blah.

I should clarify my initial comment to say I've only had personal experience with Unleashed and AJP Turbo, and I'd much prefer to go on a second date with Brad.

True to form, BPD hit the nail square on the head.

When choosing a tuner, I think it is important to decide how involved YOU want to be.   Do you want a plug & play tune that requires no effort to enjoy or would you prefer to work with tuner who expects to see logs and do tweaks?   If you choose to do the logging and have the tuner do the tweaking, do you want to know exactly what he is doing and learn from the experience or are you content to just have him tweak the tune but provide no explanation of what he is doing?

At the end of the day, the choice of tuner may not make huge difference in how your car runs.  All of them will be much more enjoyable than stock.    How you get there can vary, however.

We all know who is the best.....

The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies' room.

There's two o's in "Goose," boys.

ETA: Bruce is exactly right. The first question to ask yourself is your desired level of participation. That will help narrow the pool.

agree 100% with bruce, i don't want to data log & wanted a tune that gave me more of what the sho has but not the max so i went with livernois 3yrs ago. no issue except have to reset to stock to pass state emissions inspection, don't have to worry about warranty long gone on my '10. now if i could get rid of the annoying chirp of the tires when going from 1st to 2nd. just kidding, the pony members of my ford club get a real kick out of that!!!!!!

The question is, will anybody's tune pass the  Emissions inspection that most of us have to go through. I'm very interested in doing a tune after installing catted & coated down pipes.

There are some Tuners which disable the Rear 02 sensors and should not be an issue as long as you have the PPE Catted version DP and if thats the case simply revert back to stock tune prior to emissions testing! OBD scan tool is a great way to monitor the I/M Readiness state and best of luck to ya. Z

Mine will pass with flying colors even on E30.  Mods are in my sig.

My opinion:

Brad (AJP)
Gearhead e20-e30 AUTOTUNE (Because you have the flex fuel sensor)
Unleashed

[MKS Tom]

AJP Turbo
Ortiz
Gearhead

AJPTurbo (Brad) gets my vote, I think he's been busy with IRL stuff though.
It's definitely a process to get it dialed in with datalogging, but the end result is definitely worth it, also nice that he'll explain what hes changed in his revisions.
