BAMA Race Tune - Sputter
12-GT After having my BAMA tune on Performance since purchase, this morning I decided to see what the Race setting would do. It is tuned to 91 octane even though I run 93.
Upon startup it smelled gassy, but warmed up as normal. As I pulled out of the neighborhood and hit the gas, it went to a loud popping, and acted as though it was not getting gas. The wrench light came on as well.
I pulled off and set it back to performance, and it ran fine, although it did not have the same pop as before. I need to go back and make sure I did not set it to daily driver by accident during my panic.
I am going to reach out to them, however the feedback here is always more honest, and at times more educated.
Anyone have thoughts or experience on this? Hope I haven't crapped something up.

I'm really sorry to hear about this and I know how it must feel!
Luckily, I'm positive that this was a freak incident and the Bama will get you fixed up in no time!
Shoot them over a call and they'll take care of ya!
If you need anything else at all, I'm just a PM away and we'll get this set.

Thanks Shane/AMWill, I figured that one would pull you out. I appreciate you guys responding as always. I went ahead and placed the order for a new tune just now and will give them a call tomorrow just to touch base.
On another note, I made a mistake. I ordered fender vents (384822) about 20 days ago. Im not going to use them now, but I know I can not return pre-painted parts. The box is unopened. Do you think if I bring them to the tent at the show on the 15th there is any chance they may let me trade for something of equal or even lesser value?

I actually was going to go ahead and get it all setup for you as we speak, but unfortunately with the order # you gave me, it's coming up as an order for Bumper Insert Letters. Is there a typo in there somewhere?
Regardless, I'll get you all setup man!

I've got a better idea. Why don't I just let you return those for a full refund!

384822-UA is the item number. The order number is 5510595.
This makes it easy to wait on that back ordered cup holder cover. I sincerely appreciate your service.

I am blown away. The service has always been over the top with AM. I manage a hotel and you guys do exactly what we preach every day. The ownership and the fact that every employee is empowered will take you a long way. Thank you so much.

Boss Man, they had it all turned around in less than four business hours and reached out to me by phone twice. A guy named Van took ownership from the Bama department. It will be Sat before I can make it all happen. I will update, but I feel good about it.

I bought an item that I knew I could not return. I did not ask to return it. You recognized it was not going to work for me and offered the return. That is WAY more than doing what you can. That is doing what you dont have to. Companies dont do that anymore.

I feel as if there is no better way to run a business, than to make sure our customers get the best service possible and therefore, I will always go above and beyond (within reason) to take care of my guys.
If you ever need anything, I'm just a PM away.

^^^^ I now have the new V2 tunes. I have not loaded them as the car has not been out from under cover. I plan to pull the insert on my CAI and upload the new tunes this weekend. I will update.
