I'm about 10 seconds away from hitting the confirm button to buy the stuff from bamachips. This will be my first mod. Seems like everyone likes this stuff a lot.

Not really, great combo. You may want to checkout the SCT Livewire over the Xcal-2. It's the new kid on the block for SCT tuners. Neither will give you more power than the other. However, if it was my money I would get the latest tool out there.

it looks cool, but it seems to be just the tuner plus a datalogger and gtech combined. I'd rather put the 200 towards getting my suspension stuff.

Fine reasoning, I just wanted you to know it was out there. That was the only reason I could think of for not getting this combo.
Get it ordered!

I asked for a 93 torque & perf and an 87 perf

How long does it usually take for Bamachips to ship these out? If I ordered this morning, will i have it for the weekend (dyno day)?

It all depends on how busy Doug is! If Doug can get to writing your tune tonight, and get it shipped by tomorrow...then I would say yes.

Try giving Doug a call tonight 205-302-0231. Maybe you can persuade him to get the Tune/CAI shipped tomorrow. Doug has great customer service when he is available, but he does stay swamped.

I had my car dynoed after swapping gears with Doug. He didn't touch the tune he sent me. It was spot on! Spark, A/F ratio, torque/hp curve were all perfect.

So, if you can't get the CAI/tune in by the weekend, then you at least should have peace of mind knowing Doug's tunes are great. Although, I do understand if you want to know your HP/Torque numbers. I was at 290rwhp/305rwtq with CAI 93Torque tune, FRPP Stingers, and O/R H pipe. Maybe this will give you an idea of where you might be. Without the exhaust/h pipe you would probably be around 280rwhp/295rwtq.

What are the differences between 93 perf and race?

You get better throttle response, and the down low torque like Doug's torque tune.

Have you called him yet?

the best description I can give of the race is a mix of the Perf and Torq. tunes. The throttle response is also NO joke. I love it.

Yeah, I found myself having to be a little more careful at red lights. The throttle response is light years better.
