With the latest news of Steeda now offering the free tunes for life program, it really makes me wonder. How good is Steeda. How much better throttle response, firmness in shifts and acceleration will Steeda tune bring. Lately, performance tunes have been a hot topic on the forums which has people including myself wondering. Which tuning company provides the most power gains from there tunes.
Who provides the most HP and torque gains? You always here positive things about Steeda, Bama along with MPT. Since AM offers free tunes for life they really seem to shine above the rest on customers who use there tunes but do they provide the most HP and torque gains or do other tuning companies unlock more hidden power.
Its been said that while AM provides a very good tune, they tend to be on the conservative side with there tunes and leave a lot of hidden power. So the big question is. Between Steeda, MPT and American Muscle who makes the most powerful tune with the largest HP and torque gains.
My mustang club is having its first dyno day this Saturday 9/28/13 and really would love to settle this question. I currently have a bama 91 Octane hybrid tune along with a 91 octane MPT race performance tune. I bit the bullet and ordered the Steeda free tunes for life. I ordered a 91 octane tune from them as well.
I am hoping to make 300 HP to the WHEELS based on my mods. This will be a fair test consisting of all three octane tunes which will be 91. There will be no added or removed parts or power modifications. I do not work for any performance tuning company so I am biased and the numbers will speak for itself. I will get the print out of each dyno report and post it up here. My car has the following power mods that will affect the HP and torque numbers:
Performance tune
Airraid CAI
BBK ceramic long tube headers
Off road X pipe.
Flowmaster Force II axle back exhaust
So may the most powerful tune win. Steeda , vs MPT, vs Bama

That's exactly what I want to find out. Lol My MPT tune feels more powerful than my hybrid tune but is it? And if so how much more power, HP and torque does it make? I'm very interested to get the results and report back with the data. After that , Cecil County dragstrip to see which tune provides the fastest 1/4 mile times. Lol

I think you're going to see very similar gains between all 3 of the tunes. I'm very interested to see the results, definitely let us know! To answer the question about our tunes being conservative, this is true to an extent. We will write our tunes as aggressive as we feel we can safely deliver without datalogging. After you receive your tune and would like to datalog we can definitely make some adjustments to your tune!
