Hey people. Have 07 GT/CS with 4:10's and cervinis ram air hood and ram air and no other mods'. Want to get this thing to run in the low 13's and hope that the choice of tuner (Tilmen/Brenspeed/whatever) will do it for me. Any help with the best all around tuner would be greatly appreciated........tru-blue seat of the pants, will do it.

 

What mods will you be doing in the future? Do you have a programmer? Do you have a shop to dyno pull/tune? A street tune and race tune is most common to keep a good "balance" something has to be sacrificed, either drivability or power.

 

Well Chris Rose is no longer doing initial tuning at American Muscle. He switched over to marketing so I guess I'd ask Ryan @ AM or Brenspeed.

 

I'd go with BBR, VMP Tuning or Brenspeed

 

Brenspeed all the way! I'm biased, but could not be happier with the tune and level of expertise. As long as the tuner is reputable, of which many are- they should be able to offer you a nice setup.

 

BAMA is now exclusive to American Muscle saw that in the newest Mustang Mag I received.

 

Ya not really though. Doug from Bama and Chris Rosr from Tillman combined their fine tuning with Ryan's @ AM and together created a pretty wicked tune.

Down fall is that AM's customer service is a joke. Hate saying that as I really like using them as their shipping and prices are excellent.

But unless u get an update while on the phone, you will most likely not get one at all.

 

Truth be told, there is not too much difference in tuning with a good tuner. I use both Chris Rose's AM tunes and Eric Brooks tune and they both give me nearly identical times at the track.

 

Thanks guys for input, is there much to be said about the tuner itself....ie SCT 3, vrs SCT livewire, Diablo etc....?

 

I went with the SCT SF3 and went through Americanmuscle.com. My first tuner had an overheating problem when I got it that SCT wanted me to send back to them and wait to get it replaced or fixed. AM sent me a replacement immediately before I returned my bad one to them. They really stepped up. The new one works flawlessly and the tunes rock.

For the price, the SF3 does a great job and AM will back it with free tunes for as long as you own it and your car. Considering who's sending you the tunes, not a bad deal at all. And AM customer service was great when I really needed it. No, I don't work there. lol! I like to give credit where its due.
