It seems that buying the tuner bundled with tunes is the best deal. There's someone selling a Livewire TS unopened for $430, which is the one I want to get, but buying it from 5 Star comes with six tunes. I probably only want/need a couple of tunes. What is a better deal?
It is 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
The truth is you will probably only ever use 2 or 3 tunes. But it is going to cost $430 for the tuner then another $100-$200 for up to 3 tunes so you are at $630. If you go straight with the 5 star you are looking at $649 with 6 tunes yeah you might not use all them but you have them if you ever wanted. If you only purchase 1 tune from 5 star to go with your tuner at some point you are probably going to want to try a different tune than what you purchased. 5 Star does not pick the tunes , you have the freedom to pick any 6 of there custom tunes for your truck. Mike or Scott were always happy to answer any of my questions each time I called and helped me pick the best tunes for what i was looking to do with the truck
Plus a lot of the time you can work with one of the supporting vendors here like Chris @ freedom or the guys @ got exhaust and they can work a better deal for you especially if you are looking to get say an exhaust or CAI at the same time.
I always like purchasing everything from good vendors, they seem to be more willing to help me out if I have a problem or just willing to go the extra mile during the process if I am buying everything from them. Especially if it is only saving you a few dollars. If you were looking at a few hundred in savings I would understand it.
Hope this helps I know what you are going thru I researched for ever before I purchased my tunes. I actually first purchased a X3 thru my work with a JDM tune in it for a really good deal and wasn't that happy with it. That's when I decided to go with 5 star and couldn't be happier.
