Bama ghost cam tune

So figure hey lets give it a shot but found out something interesting that its only for manuals? Maybe it was said when it first came out and i never caught it but anyone know the reasoning behind it only being for manuals? I know the tune messes with the idle but figured idle is idle and can be used on both transmissions. Though i seem to be wrong.

Ill give this to bama they called me to tell me that they don't do that tune for auto's which i thought was nice of them.

Most, if not all, tuners had problems with ghost cam tunes on autos if I recall correctly. Which was made worse by other mods, and also made issues hard to diagnose remotely. Low speeds were very bucky and prone to stalling. You can message one of the AM reps on here, and I'm sure they'll give you a more detailed answer.

Would have to be Torque Converter related... If you go with a really large cam most of the time an auto will require a Stall Converter... Since you are simulating a large cam I imagine that is the reason...

This is correct, unfortunately. This tune is only offered for manuals, the auto transmission has some issues with the Cam tune! If we decide to come out with this file for the Auto's, I'll definitely let you know.
