Ok, I've been looking all over this forum but haven't found much about the differences between Malone Stage 2 and Kerma tunes. Mostly, it's just people saying they like theirs, but no real comparisons.
So, I'm not asking which one is best... that seems to be the debate. I'm just wondering how does a person decide which one to go with? They're roughly the same power, people seem to be happy with both. The only potentially negative thing I read is that Kerma has some sort of shudder in top gear? I don't understand that, maybe I read it wrong.
If I'm not mistaken, the malone has to be shipped off to a shop but the kerma can be downloaded to a q-loader?
Any thoughts? I get my car "fixed" next week (emissions), and I'd like to immediately get a tune after that. I pull a small camper sometimes so the extra power would be appreciated. But also I'd like a little better power when I'm just commuting, and fuel economy increases are also fun.
My car is a 6 speed manual, stock motor otherwise.
