I think it was like a 3 day sale or something. They usually have a few good ones in the summer.

That's a sweet deal too. I almost went will LMR because they had a similar deal with BBR and the JLT for $599 but it was right at the time Bama offered their warranty so I went with them.

I have a Pro-Cal. I have been kicking around the idea of going either with a BAMA tune or to JMS. It is a sickness, once you start you are always looking for more.

I also am running a Steeda tune and I've asked about the whole #8 problem and they have had not one problem with their tunes causing this problem. I love my steeda tune.all I can speak for is what I've experienced, had problem with Jon Lund cammed tune for some reason I was pushing less HP then a stock mustang. Does anyone have a contact number for Mr Lund.

Lund does not tune for Livernois. If you are running a MT then it will not matter much as the power will all be the same. Make sure you have a safe tune. VMP, JMS, Amazon, Steeda all do not have any #8 issues. If you have an auto than it will be a little more tricky and i would go with VMP or JMS as they have great trans set ups.

I don't seem to see many with a Livernois tune so that is who I been thinking of going with in the summer maybe, with a intake.

I have a Livernois tune, and personally, it felt better in the higher RPM's than the Bama tune I had on it prior.

I have been speaking at length with Shaun at AED. I really don't think there are too many guys that know more about tuning these things than he does. His car is running 11 flat with minimal mods, through the stock airbox. I am going to have him tune my car.

I use the Steeda tune that came with the SCT that I got off Ebay for $250. This is the tune that comes with the all tuners from SCT. I have had this for a year and 1/2 and I'm not sure why I would want to pay more for Bama, Lund, or Steeda(direct from Steeda). SCT claims 28hp 34tq and I believe it.
