I have two very reputable Mustang performance shops near me and I'd like to develop a good relationship with them. I got a quote for a JLT cai for my 2014 GT. It's upwards of around $1200. Looking at itemized, it make sense, but its still kinds steep for what it is. The service I'm questioning is the DYNO tune @ $400. I'm a class B mechanic so I can easily do the install and figure out the tuner(I'll ask that in another thread), but do I really need to get it on a DYNO?

 

No dyno needed. Canned tunes are pretty good. Buy the intake, tune, and tuner from the same place.

 

Thanks. I was looking at AM to make the purchase of the two. They have a BAMA X4 that has tunes for life. Seems like a good choice.I just have to figure out how this canned/custom tune process works. The custom tunes require data logging and such. Its all new to me.

 

No need for logging as long as the time runs ok. I had a Steeda CAI with a steeda tune. Worked great right out of the box and I don’t have to log.

You need to to enter a bunch of data including S/N off the engine ECU so they get the parameters right.

 

I am running the Steeda CAI with their 93 octane tune as well. No data logging, no dyno, but it woke up the car and got rid of the skip shift.
