    I went with Overkill, and it's great.. I have absolutely no complaints with the tune, and it really woke my car up. The only problem with him is that it's literally like trying to squeeze blood out of a rock trying to get an email response from him on anything. I think my longest wait for a reply was a month. It can be super frustrating to be trying to find something out from him, and you check your email every day, but nothing nothing nothing. In the end though, the tune was good and I was happy with the product. He's just a really busy guy doing this as a hobby.

    Then again, I've emailed Intense twice with questions about their products and never once got a reply... and that was over half a year ago.

    I'd just go with the Overkill.

    Actually, you'll need to be honest and answer a simple question. Will you mod and stay with what you do, or will you mod, then mod, and mod some more?

    If you just want to do a lil bit of playing around once or twice... Go with Overkill. Tell em what you are putting in and you're good to go. Might still be worth it if you change things once after.

    But if you're going to get the bug and keep changing things, then you'd be better off making an investment in $ & time and tune yourself. LoL

    Better than both would be to cut to the front of the line by getting an in-car tune by someone who's been doing it on these engines for a while. : )

    good luck & happy trails!

    Overkill can be hard to get ahold of. I stumbled upon his personal cell number at one point which helped quite a bit as you can imagine. Overkills tune was spot on perfect and I largely still use his transmission settings and alot of other related stuff even now tuning my own car. It was a great base for me to start off of when I got hptuners as well.

    I just ordered an Overkill and can't wait for it. I've read way more good reviews on his tunes compared to others and because of that I sprung for Will's tune.
