    JDM Tune vs. 5 Star Tunes: A Comparative Review.

    Not having to switch tunes with JDM is a big benefit to me. always having to swap over to the 5 star "Tow" tune was annoying for the holiday trailer. JDM claims they will tailor an all around tune just like the truck came from the factory.

    5 Star 87 economy tune worse than stock?

    JDM +1. Had 5 star before I added the blower, talked to 5star when I added it and they didn't help me. JDM was nothing but professional and Im super happy with the driveability.

    Roush Tune Needed!

    I have a Roush stage 2 kit, bought the JDM tune and a SCT handheld from them Great service start to finish and well worth the cost to get a better performance, highly driveable tune.

    2012 Raptor - Recommended Performance Upgrades

    I’ve debated the billet gear change also but in the end went with it. If your that far into the build of adding the SC easier to do it beforehand then rip it all off and add later. I’m a huge fan of preventive maintenance and would fear every time I really got into the throttle of this was the...

    Possibly several dumb intake questions

    Just make sure the hose clamps are tight, Looked at used truck (diesel) with a CAI the guy said was never dirty, reached down and the hose clamps were so lose they swiveled around the filter. Alot of good the filter was doing, hate to see the inside of that diesel.

    GEN 1 Need some help

    I completed the Roush 590/590 kit about 5000 miles ago. Only because the roush kit was more accessible in my region and the support from a local speed shop gave me some peace of mind. Installed, drove for a week to make sure everything was good. Then talked to JDM and got an improved all around...

    Whipple tune alternative

    I dont totally agree with that. If you shop at a reputable shop and do your homework and also have a proven way to get the email tune into your truck... I think an emailed tune is well worth the money. I do agree nothing beats a true dyno tune but not everyone is close enough to travel to the...

    Supercharging with 55k miles

    I have inquired advice from both Dane and MTF before my install. I did do the melling oil pump with a set a NGK plugs during my roush 590 install. Later I added the bigger throttle body and JDM tune. About 1000 miles on the truck so far without issue. My exhaust is just a cat back 18” single...

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Your right at USD I paid 385$ (500$ Canadian) + 695 USD ( 1000 Canadian) Plus an additional 120$ USD (160 Canadian) When the UPS package arrived at my door on Friday from brokerage fees. To you its less than 1500, but to me Im far over budget for what I was expecting to be a < 500$ Tune...

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Don't get me wrong the communication from Jim Jr and Nick is almost instant, but yes the time frame for services is a touch long winded. I am going off everything I have read and the referrals of people swearing by JDM and really hope the tune lives up to the hype. Perhaps Jim Jr should be...

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    I faced a similar situation with JDM. Bought the tune email option for 500$ (Cnd) but it wouldn't load onto the truck. Talked to Nick and was told there was no movement on the price and Jim Senior would have to build the tune from scratch as well as purchase a SCT x4 handheld as my SCT itsx...

    Progress on my whipple install

    The leak was a twisted gasket on the passenger side valve cover. Easy fix and trucks been running great. As for the tune it’s from JDM also. I ordered an email tune for my previous iTSX but for a number of reasons it couldn’t get loaded into the truck. I even went to Ford and put the ECM...
