Steeda Auto tune on 14 GT
Can someone that is running the Steeda tune on their GT automatic tranny tell me what they think? I've read that Steeda auto tunes are better than Bama's as far as shifting points, etc. going to buy a tune and tuner this week, trying to figure which was to go. Definitely want a 93 oct tune. Car is a daily driver..only other mod is Roush axle backs..
Thanks in advanced!

The shift points on our tunes are pretty aggressive. They're actually great for your Mustang! Quicker and firmer shifts result in a lot less heat and friction, which will definitely help with the longevity of your transmission. If you do go with a Bama tune and you'd like us to calm the shifts down a bit we can definitely do that. We can also make them stiffer if you don't feel that they're that not as stiff as you read about!
Definitely just let us know! We're here to help and can answer any questions you may have. Our Bama Performance tuning specialists are here in the building Monday-Friday from 9AM-5:30PM EST and Saturday 9AM-5:30PM EST. You can hit them up directly at 888.226.9764 and they'll get you squared away!

Both tunes are going to be very similar. After a ton of research, looking at reviews, talking to people on forums, Youtube videos etc., I ultimately decided on a BAMA tune.
My reason was BAMA will update your tunes for life for free no matter what mods/parts or where you get them from. They are also extremely responsive. My beef with Steeda was they do not have free tunes for life (but they will edit an existing tune for new parts as long as you buy the parts from them).
So basically, the free tunes for life program was the seller for me. First day I got my new tuner I loaded it in and found an issue with the rev limited setting. I emailed BAMA and within 30 minutes I was emailed a new tune that was perfect!
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info guys. I've spent weeks on this site and many others reading about the different tunes from different companys.
I ended up giving Steeda a call today and order a SCT X3 and the the 93 octane tune. Matt was very helpful and knowledgeable about what I was asking and wanting. I'm sure that the AM guys are just as helpful, but in the end, it was Steeda relationship with Ford that decided for me. I'll update this thread once I receive the tune and get it installed.

I've had the Steeda 93 tune since 1,000 miles and now have 19,000 miles. The tune immediately turned the car into an untamed animal just as I'm sure AED, BBR, VMP , Amazon and others have done for you. I'm wondering if anyone has the same traction/ shift issue that I have and if there is a tuner that offers a cure.--- At wot when the car shifts from 1-2 and the tires break loose, the car shifts into 3rd to get traction. The car gets traction and because the rpms are still low in 3rd and you're at wot the car shifts back down to 2nd to get back in the power band. So in essence you get a 1-2-3-2 shift pattern at wot if you're not on drag radials. Is there a tune/ tuner out there that addresses this issue for our bullet proof automatics?
Prepare for this^

The relationship between Steeda Autosports and Ford Motor Company has its roots back to the inception of Steeda when we first opened our doors with our collaboration with Ford on many performance based projects and vehicles. Later, when Ford Motor Company was launching the ground breaking Ford/SEMA Technology sharing program, Steeda Autosports was a leader in this initiative, participating on the advisory/steering committee and actively drafting the program scope so achieve the greatest possible benefit to Ford performance enthusiasts. With a primary focus on vehicle and component quality, this initiative was the first time in automotive history where this “secret” information was made available to the aftermarket.

1. Get some sticker tires to get traction
2. "pedal" the car. Don't hold it to the floor when you loose traction
3. Three, new tune that shifts softer so the car wont break traction as bad. Send me an email to tim@steeda.com and I can have Gus revise it.

You have 3 options -
1. Get some sticker tires to get traction
2. "pedal" the car. Don't hold it to the floor when you loose traction
3. Three, new tune that shifts softer so the car wont break traction as bad. Send me an email to tim@steeda.com and I can have Gus revise it.

Newbie on these "Tuners". Am I to understand that these electronic tuners mostly work best on/for GT's w/Automatic Trans?
I have a 14' GT Manual, what would/could these Tuners do for me??

The tuner device enables loading a different program into the engine control module to enhance performance (horsepower, torque, redline, etc.) and drivability of the engine, especially when different parts are installed. With an auto equipped car, there are a few more parameters (shift points, pressure, etc.) that can be altered in the programing.

Call your dealer and see if they would be willing to boost the pressure a little bit. I think they can do that without changing the tune.
