Actually, that was not the issue we were trying to solve

We actually have a final release candidate right now for the automatics but we would like a couple of more people to test it. Would prefer people with stock cold air or Steeda cold airs and stock gears just to keep things simple for this last round of testing.

I only want to send around 2 or 3 tunes for final feedback. If you are interested please PM me directly. Hopefully I wont be creating a PM frenzy here... better clear my PM box just to be safe.

I installed the Steeda idle cam tune, but it really doesn't sound any better than my BAMA race tune. Heres a quick video I took, didnt notice it was out of focus, sorry! After installing the tune I made sure to give the computer some time to relearn everything.

EDIT: Got new tune, much better!!!

That's not a cam idle tune. Thats stock.

This is our cam idle tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT0gw...ature=youtu.be

You sure you put the right tune file in?

I checked several times over the past few days before posting. Was hoping you would say something wasn't right lol. Called up and seems the idle tune wasn't on the order for you! There was alot of issues when we initially called up because of the Roush computer instead if stock, request for cam tune probably got lost somewhere in that time.
I'll edit original post and put up hopefully baddass new vid when the tune comes in.

Doing plenty of driving-

Initial thoughts.
The power band is awesome. I noticed some surging with my other tunes(not steeda) on acceleration, that is completely gone, smooth power band and strong.

Going from a dead stop to accelerating, The cam Idle transitions good, no drivability issues there.

Going from moving to a stop can feel a bit tricky as you slow down and it starts loping, but its more of a learning curve to apply the right amount of brakes.

Sitting at a dead stop, again, learning curve to apply enough brakes so you dont surge a bit forward with the lope.

These are just common things associated with a hot cam so no biggy.

I have cycled through all the the positions on the shifter, no issues there either. Ill continue to drive it and give you any updates.

Shane

Thanks for the great feedback! Keep enjoying it over the weekend and if all continues well we should be ready for release.

Warm up process, Next video i do will be after its driven a bit, the lope is deeper then since everything is up to temp.

Good job Gus, my wife hates it so its got a A+ in my book.
