Now I am fully aware that there are an infinite amount of posts about tunes with bama and AED. But I haven't really seen any compared with the v2 bama tunes and the AED. I'm about to pull the trigger on one of the two but just don't know what to decide on, mostly because of the price for the bama tuner compared to AED. And I have seen many good things on these new v2 tunes. So AED or bama v2 tune? Thanks.
Out of those 2 options I would say AED. Shaun is pretty good at what he does and even still, from what I have seen the V2 tunes still aren't all that good.
AED and don't look back.
But if your just looking for a better driving/response car with some HP gains and nothing crazy. Then I would say Steeda or AM for a canned tune.
I installed a Steeda 93 tune just because i removed the cats and run there CAI.
If I were to start changing TB / IM / cams or fuel or go all the way with FI. There would be no question in my mind and AED.
I've never heard a bad comment about AED.
Just remember....no 2 motors are alike and you get what you paid for.
Good luck with your purchase and PLEASE post your choice and feelings on the tune.

For sure! Otherwise the roush axleback the car is bone stock. I am looking for the better driving/response with the car. But I still want the most power with the tune and the AED tune seems to be the choice for that. People say there is a difference with the bama and some say their isn't a difference with the power. But everyone who has an AED tune claims they feel a lot more power. And they say the car is way smoother with the AED tunes, smoother than stock. And my car is a DD so I need all the pluses with the driveability of the car.

You said you had the Steeda tune right? After researching Steeda's tunes for a while, I am now considering them. If you did have the Steeda tune, how was it? Did you feel actual gains with the tune? Was the driveability nice? Any problems with the tune? Thanks.

Yes I'm running a Steeda tune and there CAI.
I love my Steeda tune and have ZERO complaints. It meets my needs!
After I installed the tune I felt major gains.I'll explain why. I removed my cats and installed a Steeda CAI then installed the tune. Just removing the cats will get you 25hp alone. I told Steeda what I was doing and they sent me my tunner loaded for just that. I choose a 93 oct. tune. You can buy 93 very easy where I live.
My car drives like stock and would do it again.
Only problem with the tune... And you will have this problem with any tune is:
YOU WANT MORE....LOL
I have been able to let well enough alone sense my car is my toy and not a DD.
Let me say that any time I had concerns before I installed the tune and Called Steeda with worries they answered all questions and concerns to my likeing. For a street tune and great driveability Go with Steeda.
The only power mods I'm running is: Steeda CAI / no Cats / Roush exhaust and my Steeda Tune. I drive my car easy. But when you need the power, Thers more than enough for me. I plan on keeping my car till i'm lowered into the ground. Then it's someone elses toy to make it into what ever they want. They better just not wreck it or I'll haunt them.
If you plan on going crazy with HP and many different parts.. Go AED.
Good luck with your new tune. let us know which way you go and share your thoughts about your tune.
Just remember that all cars run different. Just the location of where you live and outside temps and air make a difference in the way a car will respond.

Wow! Thanks for all this info! And as for AED and the mods, my car is completely stock with the roush axleback. And your car must be ear piercing without the cats with the roush exhaust! But yeah, I'm in no way heavily modifying my car. Not even going to take the cars off for a long time, maybe never. But steeda seems like it meets my needs perfectly. I'm going to think about this and let you guys know what I'll go with

We appreciate the feedback & support ... it is truly appreciated.
Will you need to pass emissions? Do you plan on adding any mods down the road like headers? Ask the tuner no matter which one if they keep all o2 sensors active. Some tunes turn off the rear o2 sensors.
Little update ... who did you end up going with & how is your tune?
Best Regards,
TJ
I went with the Steeda intake and tune! I am in love with both! The CAI is a very well built piece and the tune is amazing. Seemed like a different car when I installed it. Ive had it for maybe 1-2 months now and I love it. Very nice tune and CAI from you guys! Thank you!
