My experience with Cali Raised LED

I really hope some of the tuners will chime in here and give some insight on possibilities and outcomes. I WANT MORE POWA! My experience is from 20 years ago so likely antiquated and obsolete. I had a Suby STi and we tuned it by creating up to 5 separate "maps". Maybe you'd do 93 daily map, 93 aggro, 100 map, and 100 track day aggressive map. The maps were made by a tuner who would read the info in real time on the laptop while you were on a dyno or driving. Questions: Now we have a similar powerplant with the 2.4 turbo is it tunable? Can we expect to see similar gains based on the same mods? For example: If I upgrade my turbo, downpipe, add an intercooler, intake and exhaust, will I see the same significant up in power like is my assumption? How does the hybrid affect this? Can the electric motor be coordinated to work with the tune? How would that work? Can the tunes be made custom to your truck, based on mods, gas, altitude, etc? Or would they be generic assumptions templates? What are the tools we can expect to see as the best to work with this system? Utech, Ecutek, Cobb, HP Tuners, or? When we will see some options?

I wanted to take a moment and share my recent experience with Cali Raised LED.
My family knew I was pretty excited about my new truck and gifted some small things for me at Xmas. I was gifted the bed stiffeners from Cali Raised. I was having the shop around the corner wire in my ditch lights, so I just had them do the molle panel bed kit and bed stiffeners too.
When I pick up the truck the shop tells me the hardware for the stiffeners isn't even close. So I call Cali Raised. They pick up right away and it's an actual human being! Can you imagine?! I start to explain, he cuts me off and says I bet I know what happened... And knew before I finished. Looked up the info, saw my family bought it from one of the other vendors and says no problem, I'll ship you new hardware tomorrow.
One of the best, easiest, most painless, reminiscent of old school customer service transactions I've had. No dodging blame, no pretending there wasn't an error, just accountability and action.

A lot of these companies make comparable products, but because of how they treated me, whatever I can buy from them I will.

I thought I'd share with y'all because it makes a difference to me what kind of a business I patronize, if does to others I'd want to know.
