Are you bored, how to start a war in 20 words or less.lol. Both are very capable tuners.Talk to both see which one gives you the best warm and fuzzy feeling and go from there.BTW Ryan Hogan of Flying Ryan Performance also has a very good rep as a tuner,so talk to him also. Jeremy Satera is also another big name in the Hemi tuning world,and is who Paramount uses for their 8 speed transmission tuning.If you're Canadian Chris Zelinski of Player 3 Performance tuning is another good tuner.Johan out of NY is one of the best if not the best hemi tuner,but he's so busy with big names,us peons have a hard time getting ahold of him,then theres AJ Berg (sp?) another big name hemi tuner

I have both. Both are extremely easy to work with. Both are very accommodating and have made many revisions to my tunes without question. Both have answered many noob questions I've had in the beginning. Both are simply great tuners.

Sounds like you have a tuner already and are looking for custom tuning? Like @Wild one said, this is a touchy subject and there are many tuners out there who are extremely capable and do a great job. I have yet to see one being "better" than the other.

One thing I can guarantee is no matter who you choose, it will be better than the stock tune.

I agree with Rick and Hemi395--questions like this start a **** fight every time. All tuners have their own following and they are usually pretty vocal about their opinions. My suggestion is to decide what you think you want the results to be then interview each one of them and see which one sounds like they will do the best job for you. Communication between you and your tuner is really important for a successful outcome. Each one Rick listed is a good tuner--past that it's just personal preference.

Just asking a question, not trying to start a **** storm or anything just don't which way I wanted to go.

These days i'd almost go with Ryan Hogan,as the other 2 you mentioned have very full plates on their hands ,and Ryan is just starting to get a very good rep,but isn't nearly as busy as the other 2 "yet". You want a tuner who will be able to spend a little more time tuning your combination in my opinion.Both Jay and Sean are excellent tuners,but there's a limit to the amount of time either one can devote to your truck in a day.Only so many working hours in a day,lol.

I’ve been tuned by Jay for almost 2 years. Zero issues and for my 6000lb crew cab, my track times are pretty impressive. Rick (Wild Man) calls my truck the sleeper lol

Do the nitrous first,you might not want a convertor as much afterwards,lol.Nitrous creates instant cylinder pressure which is torque,and will make your stock convertor flash a little higher if you use it right off launch.My truck 60fts 1.50's with a stock convertor.

Would take Rick's advice on not doing the convertor now especially if you have the 8-speed.
Stall would not be necessary unless going to larger cam which would reduce bottom end torque thus the need for stall to get RPMs up for launch.
If 6-speed then yes on stall if geared 3.92 or under.

I’ve run both, no complaints with either. As previously stated, you can’t really go wrong with either, I’ve received the same great customer experience from both (lots of questions answered, revisions made). I won’t name names but some of who I believe would be considered respected members here have posted some sound advice on these 2 guys as well as some others options available............

Both are great tuners, I recommend Jay for personal reasons, but I was also very happy with my HF tune.

How do I get ahold of/find out more about the Jay Greene tunes? Hemifever is easy enough to find, and his Stage 1 tunes are $200. Curious as to what Jay charges for a Stage 1 tune.

You either have to get ahold of him on Facebook or email him directly. As far as I know he doesn't have a website .....

Matt Brown at Deamon Motorsports will take good care of you.
Make sure you take the time to talk to a few of them about your tuning needs.

My truck is full bolt on and cammed. A converter would do well with my truck with my cam and the weight of my truck alone.
