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.

I started with LMS and ended with AJP. Brad is very good at explaining what he's doing for you. But you need to do your part and be patient. I would hate to see how many sho's he's tuned   :yikes: :yikes:

I've had both unleashed and ajp tune my sho and now doing the same with the edge. Both are very good guys with excellent customer service. Brad at AJP explains things much more and really listens to your feed back. He's really great to work with and a smart guy. Torrie at unleashed has probably the best customer service I've ever seen. He will answer you all hours of the night. But he won't go as deep into the tune as Brad. He also really doesn't explain as deeply what he's doing and why. I honestly would recommend either. Unleashed it really simple you may get 1/2 revisions after logging. Brad really takes his time and fine tunes everything. Might be 4/5 revisions before you get exactly what you are looking for.

AJPTURBO tuned here as well. There is a reason why. However, if Brad wasn't tuning both of my cars, I would recommend Matt at Gearhead as well.

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
ZSHO, thank you Sir as I've reached out to PPE regarding catted DP with coating. What is an OBD scan tool? Do I purchase from said recommend tuner? The guys on here have been great offering their experience with whom they've utilized for tuning.  I rather not have to take out the tune and revert to stock just to pass an inspection. This is all time-consuming as I will be putting at least 50,000 miles on the car this year for work.  My motto is set and forget,  just hold on and go.

The obd scan tool isn't the same thing as your handheld tuning device.  Both can read and clear codes but what you specifically need the scan tool for is to check the I/M readiness status for emissions.  By having that tool and checking the I/M readiness status you'll know if you will pass or fail an inspection before you actually go to get it done.  Just a nice tool to have.  You don't have to buy one though.  You can probably go to any parts store in your area and simply ask for them to check your I/M readiness status and they can do it for free.  You want the I/M readiness status to read 0.  Not sure what the standard is in all states but in VT it can read 1 and you will still pass.  Then its just a visual inspection here in VT...my guy "didn't see" anything wrong lmfao🤘

Something along the lines of link below. Disclaimer, that is not the one I have, don't see it listed on google anymore but mine was about 20 bucks when I bought it.

It connects to an app on your phone. I use Torque. It sees codes that don't show up with my sct4.

I will tell you this. No tuner is willing to say their tune will pass emissions. Especially if you change factory emissions parts.

Its my pleasure to help out! :) I guess you can take the OBD Route or a better alternative would be to specifically tell your Tuner of choice to not Disable the Rear 02 (Down-stream) sensors on the pipes for precautionary measures and set it and forget it rule will apply! Best of luck on your Quest. Z
