Good evening
I have recently been getting into doing performance modifications to my truck and so far I have installed the aFe Stage 2 Intake, Cross db exhaust with resonator delete, and ups mega catch can

I currently want to buy a tune but I am noticing that mot is a lot more expensive. MPT's SCT X4 with three of their custom tunes costs me $714 before delivery and tax. 5 stars SCT with 3 custom tunes will cost me $450 before shipping and tax. Is MPT worth spending all that money over 5 stars tunes. Keep in mind my truck is sitting at 173,000 miles and I daily drive it every day ranging for 150-300 miles.

I do make sure to stay on top of maintenance with every 5k miles I do an oil change with the hem rotorcraft oil and filter. I recently got all the carbon build up cleaned up, spark plugs changed, new coolant, fresh diff and transferase fluids.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Both great companies and people, both companies will adjust and fine-tune through data logging. I've ran both on multiple different trucks and personally for me at least 5 Star has always been more refined in the transmission. This was after at least a dozen revisions from each company.
I think for most people you really can't go wrong with either
