hi all,
i know this been beat to death but i need some advice on LONG TERM usage so far on which one of these tunes with either steeda/JLT2 intakes on Automatic tranny GT's.

rwhp gains, fast service.

The only other mod i have is axle back FRPP GTA exhaust

I'm about to pull the trigger here and order it this week.

Thanks so much all !

 

Doug @ Bamachips has the best automatic tunes hands down!

 

I have tried 3 different automatic tunes so for. Up to now my farvorite is Lidio's from Alternative Auto. However, I have not tried Doug's latest creation yet. I plan on sending him my tuner in the next few weeks to get his lastest. We all have our favorites but I am a firm believer in trying all of them and making a fair judgement of what I consider "BEST"

+1 to Scott's post, that makes the most sense to me.

 

As in life!...As in cars!.......I used to swear by Blonde's until I tried a brunnette.......Red heads makes me sleep with one eye open!....You just never know until you try... Your a wise Old sage! 70MACH1OWNER.. ...

 

Thank you...I guess I have a hard time listening to others that say "this guy has the best tunes" when it is the only tune they have tried. I just sent Doug@Bama another email so I can send him my tuner to have his latest auto tune loaded. Then and only then can I say somebodies tune is the "best"
So STD....does this mean you are presently married to a redhead?? I thought that picture of your from Oregon looked like you had bags under your eyes.

Huh!..nope, The first Ex-Mrs STD, was a fire Crotch..oops! I mean Red head!.....

 

I'll give you my 2 cents worth...I prefer Doug's tunes over all. I have tried two others and they were really good. It is all a matter of preference of how you like your car to drive. If you want the feel of a stick shift then go with Doug. His tunes run the rpm's up a little higher in 1st and 2nd. The others don't do that (at least the other two that I have).

By the way the other two I have tried were VMP and Brenspeed which I received very good service with as well and their tunes are just as good for performance they just feel different on the shift patterns.

I do still switch back and forth between different tunes when I get bored with the feel of them.

My best advice is get the tuner and CAI and try out a couple different tuners. It is only gonna cost a couple hundred dollars at the most and it is the only way to find out what you will like in a tune.

 

Smart man. Listen to him!
Scott

 

Haha I can't wait to get the two of you together at our TMS meeting..... I may just leave my wife at home so I can concentrate on you two hooligans!

 

I'm think'n this is going to be fun! Or were you talking about the redhead Tom?
Scott

 

this is awesome!

what kind of RWHP gains are you all seeing with CAI intake, Tune and Axleback?

25-40 rwhp?

thanks!

 

With your antisipated mods you should expect between 25-30 at the rear wheels running a 93 octane tune. You will love it. And this is with any of the listed guys tunes!!
Scott

 

My vote is for bama's Auto tunes... The New 93 Octane Race tune is awesome!!!

 

...When i had my '05 auto...i tried Lidios...and it was great..very nasty shifts...I then tried Dougs. I liked Dougs better...it was just a better shift schedule to me..and i noticed no power difference between the two tuners...both had my my car getting rubber in third gear. At the time Lidios tune made me feel like i was gonna break something...lol Dougs was great...i actually liked my auto with 93 race tune better than my Stick with the same tune...my auto felt stronger to me somehow...maybe just had a better motor in that one...who knows.

 

Here's my totally subjective input...

I have Brenspeed's and Doug's Torq tune (on my manual, sorry). They're both very good but quite different, and I sometimes switch between them. I really like the low end on Doug's tune, Brenspeed feels like I lost some low-end compared to stock. My car also sounds 10x better with Doug's tune. Brenspeed's tune is very smooth, almost too smooth, Bamachips Torq tune is an animal in comparison, the car feels more fun to drive with the Torq tune.

 

Tom, my hooligan days are over! and remember my wife will be with me! and she keeps me on short leash..... She wont even let me urinate in public anymore ..

 

I have bama and Brenspeed tunes I can say I like them both, I cant say 1 is better than the other though they are slightly different.

 

For those with Dougs tune, which is better, the 93 torque or 93 race tune??

 

93 Race by far !!!
