06 gt won’t start after intstallingaftermarket parts
#21
Did you purchase the Ford intake manifold and 47lb injectors along with the tuning device from American Muscle/Bama? If you did purchase the aftermarket parts from them, they should had at the very least uploaded a tuning file in the programmer for both the injectors and intake manifold.. But then again, who knows if the tuning parameters would had been dialed-in properly anyhow. When it comes to e-mail tuning vendors, I had nothing but problems with AM/BAMA and also with Brenspeed.
That being said, if for whatever reason your not able to afford having your car tuned by a local tuner on the dyno, I would only trust reputable tuning vendors such as Lund Racing, VMP performance, JDM engineering and especially Lito who's considered the 3v guru.

Did you contact AM/Bama's tuning department to inform them about the start and idle issues you had with the tune? If you did, they should had sent you a tune revision adjustment via e-mail to correct the idle/start issues. I wouldn't necessarily say that you wasted $450.00 on the Bama tuner itself, as you would've been required to purchase a tuning device anyhow, regardless of which tuning shop does your tuning..
But in the end, you made the right choice by having a local tuning shop custom tune your car on the dyno and have it tuned properly. Hopefully, you didn't have to purchase another tuning device from your local tuning shop, as they should be able to upload their custom tuning files into any SCT X4 tuning device and up..

yeah I was thinking the same thing -- hope the local tuner was able to use your SCT device
in any case, I assume you still have that device, and that is important because it has your factory tune on it, in case you ever need to go back to the factory tune in the future

Yep, in the end it all worked out good. I’m using the car as a daily driver and drive it to work and everything. I was just freaking out about all that tuning nonsense in the beginning😂

So did you have to purchase another tuning device or was your local custom tuner able to upload your new tunes into your Bama/SCT tuning device?

Exactly! once the vehicle is flashed with the programmer, it's married to that vehicle.. Not only is that device needed if you ever need to go back to the factory tune in the future, but it also cannot be used on a different vehicle while it has the factory tune of the primary vehicle uploaded into the device..

that's good -- the money spent on the tuner was not really a total loss . . . all you really lost was the "free" Bama tunes
