Who is the top tuner? Spartan, Innovative, who else??? My truck got re-flashed at the dealer so I need to get updated tunes installed on my X3. I bought it from Innovative. I emailed them several times with no response. Finally I just called. Turns out I need to pay an additional $65 bucks to get the tunes emailed to me. Not real cool, in my book. When I first was dealing with Eric, he seemed to bend over backwards. He really helped me out with my broke X3 when I got it. Oh well. Since I am going to have to pay then I can look elsewhere too.
My truck is stock with an exhaust (turbo back). I am looking for a great all around tune, a towing tune and a economy tune. What is the word on the street. Who is the best tuner right now?

Well, Spartan is out. Just called them. I bought some tunes from them last year for $100. Called and the guy says. "Just hook yours up and it will be fine." I said What?... If I do that, the return to stock function will load my previous stock tune. He says, "Ya". I said What? Are you kidding? then he says "We dont write tunes for SCT anymore". Some follow up service for my $100 bucks.

river city diesel also programs sct's but reading threads on this site eric at innovative is one of the best for the 6.0.
good luck
