That is awesome to hear! I also went with JDM for their 93 octane tune!
Quite impressed tbh. They know what they're doing and they are extremely helpful and friendly (Jim Sr and Jim jr.)
They revised their original tune with a stage 1 when the Whipple IC was installed and found a ton of power to be had.
I'm waiting to receive the SPD downpipes so they can data log and revise again.
Right now I've managed 4.11s 0-60 consistently with Whipple IC, Borla Atak exhaust, and 93 ocane tune.
I know I can break into the 3's just need to get a better launch, less tire spin, and weather conditions.
They estimate mid 3's with dp's so we shall see!

It's called the "Draggy Throw".
Step 1: Roll down driver window
Step 2: Hold draggy in hand
Step 3: Accelerate
Step 4: At appx 50mph throw the Draggy forward as hard as you can and hope it logs before it breaks.
this is the ONLY proven method of getting mid-3’s on a 93 tune. Ok, maybe not proven yet, but I welcome you to try.

Car is running low 4's consistently with tire spin and other factors so I assume I can get into the high 3's with all things considered.
I doubt adding the downpipes will get me from a 4.11/high 3's to mid 3's tbh.
I guess we shall see once I get the dp`s on.
Could the increase in boost help? I believe they have it running at 21psi right now.
lol@twin001 might be worth a try

I'd be happy breaking 3's tbh. Maybe with a little more boost increase and I do have the Borla not stock exhaust I can squeeze some more idk.
A prepped track would be nice to go to just to eliminate the real world concrete. I can't find any nice pavement around me to try on.
I guess to get to the next big jump in 0-60 times (3.3 - 3.5 to compete with a stock Trackhawk) would be upgrading the turbos and a new HPFP to run E50.
I'm more excited to get the dp's on to hear the change in exhaust tone. I have the Borla Atak with a X-pipe and it sounds mean already but I really want to hear the difference with dp's.
Hoping for a more deep throatier rumble. Well that's my 2 cents. Thanks for the feedback unbroken.

HEy guys im new to this but doing some research .... ilive in nj and JDM is the only place i see that can tune my car in NJ ....if i wanted t go with ZFG or 5 Star do i just order it online and JDM can install it for me? or how does this work? should i just go with the JDM tune? i will have the Whipple IC , Steeda Lowering Springs installed ass well with the tune i just want the best tune for my Daily ST what do you guys think?
if you were me would you just go with JDM Tune since i can drive to the shop and they will be installing the lowering springs and intercooler as well..... or is th ZFG or 5 star tune so much better that i should order it separate? here is the link for JDM tune https://www.teamjdm.com/sct-x4-programmer-3-0l-explorer-st/#product-reviews
