#1. Safest
#2 highest hp
#3 most dangerous

The best advice I can provide is.. Choose a tuning vendor who has a great reputation as a custom tuner and also has years of R&D experience to back it up..

IMHO you can't go wrong with custom tuners such as Brenspeed, JDM engineering, Lund Racing, Steeda, VMP tuning and AM/Bama..

Although I'm not very familiar with AED tuning.. I've seen a lot of positive feedback about them on these forums, but in the end, you need to do your own research and then decide as to which tuning vendor best meets your individual needs and who you feel most comfortable with..

For me, safety and warranty were the primary issues, so I chose an FRPP tune (specifically TracKey). Can't speak to the other factors.

In all honesty, most users are not going to know the answers to those questions. People will say they used "X", and it's awesome, or I heard about #8 blowing with "X" tune, via 3rd hand knowledge/the internet....

I've tuned my own since day 1 (not recommended to the masses obviously...) and my car runs with/beats similarly modded cars from the big names. Lund, AED, Steeda, VMP, and quite a few others, maybe except for 1 mentioned (I refuse to say/speak ill of any vendor...), someone else probably will would do good for you. If you are tuning a mostly stock car you have more choices. If your combination is more complex, then you need to be much more careful about tuner selection.

Well, if we are talking warranty and the car is a 2011, the warranty that the track key warranty replaces is long over. Thus, you're better off elsewhere, as the tuning equipment will grow with you as you mod further.

Don't get me wrong, I used Procal (predecessor to the track key) to good effect on my 2012 BBP car I bought new. Jammed that car into the 11s at 115 with the tune and a sticky tire, full weight, fully loaded car.

I used VMP this time on my 2014 I got in October 2015. It's a really well sorted tune that works very well with the auto I have now.
