I must've got crap tunes when I got my Tillman's last year(came with the FRPP 80mm CAI). I noticed a tiny improvement in throttle, but that was absolutely it. No better mileage, no perceived gain in HP/Torq, no better sound, no sucking sound from the CAI, nothing. The only thing I got was a promise it'd pass through inspection...but it didn't (not that I was actually expecting it to).

So I take it you guys would definitely recommend Bama's?

Most of us are Americans... not having the cash is NOT a reason to not buy something... we have credit cards!

I have the jlt with tillman tune and I am very happy with it. Maybe its the ford intake that is the hindrance?
