C&L Intake and BamaChips Tuning Review
#12
They are $400 and you get more then just a tune with them. You actually get 6 if you count the canned tunes that are already on there with the 3 custom tunes. You have a code reader for CEL's and a datalogger to help with tuning.

Is that the race version of the C+L or the street one? I seen the '05-'09 Mustangs that there are two different ones and that one requires a tune. I love the way it looks! Did you plug the air intake noise tube back in or does it do that?

Most likely the fuel in your area is a tad off and causing the engine knock. I wouldn't be surprised if Bama either writes you a new tune with a bit of timing pulled or walks you thru it to do yourself. It's not too uncommon to have to tweak the tunes. Their customer support is another reason why Bama and Brenspeed are so highly regarded.

I know on the 91Performance tuning I'm running now I'll get some detonation around 5000rpm, so I might pull a few degrees in that area and see if that helps. But in the other tunes the detonation is sooner in the rpms so I would rather have new tunes then have to remember to change the settings all the time I load them....even though it is not that hard.

Actually I don't notice a difference at all inside. With the windows down you can hear the initial suction from the intake and then anything else is drown out by the Roush exhaust. Which is why I want to remove it, it no longer has a function.
I forgot to mention that the tune effects the sound of the exhaust.
The 91Performance tune it sounds basically the same, you have alot of pops between shifts and on deceleration....most likely from being a little on the rich side.
The 91Torque and 91Race tunes the exhaust is noticeably quieter. Almost like stock while cruising, but back to being good and loud when you get on it.
The is less popping between shifts and deceleration, but the exhaust has a hollowly(sp) sound almost 5.0ish. It sounds really good.
I gotta shot BamaChips an email to make sure everything is good. I have read it has taken a few days to get the new tunes.
But I might do some data-logging and see if I can get it dyno worthy for next week. If not then I will have to wait till the first week of November.
