I turned up the idle in the car and that helped with eliminating the stalling. Musta been asked 123810381203 times if i had the MAF in the right way, seriously were not that stupid.

I went from running a 12.90 stock on streets to running a 12.69 on dr's, with cai, tune, and boss intake. I emailed Bama and the guy over the email was great and I figured there wasnt a big deal. TheThen i drove my buddys '11 that has the same mods and it felt like an 8 banger compared to a 6. I called Bama, and well, they talked to me like a moron and pretty much said it had to be my driving. American Muscle's customer support is awesome, but the Bama guys sometimes talk down to you acting like you cant drive or dont know anything. I did however call another tuner and had em send a tune out to compare, this new one is ALOT more agressive in the idle and throttle response.

I also have only a JLT cai and pypes exhaust. I loaded up the 89 performance tune. Started it up and the idle went crazy. First it was around 800rpm then would drop down to like 400rpm, bog, damn near stall out, and then jump back up to around. Over and over again it ws horrible. Also when I come up to a stop the engine idle drops super low, bogs, damn near dies, then comes back up. This also happened with bama's 93 octane race tune.

I then load SCT'd pre canned 89 tune into the car and BOOM PROBLEM GONE car runs great.

Needless to say I'm so disappointed with bama . $150 pretty much completely wasted. I could have jsut ordered my pypes mid pipe and used the sct canned tune all along.

I want my money back AmericanMuscle.

I tried all 3 tunes with the octane accordingly. Then you have to deal with properly oiling (when its time to clean it) the filter or the car will die frequently. I will never do a CAI/Tuner again. Just my .02 cents.

Who knows, maybe mine was off as well.

I instead got rid of the 2010 for a 2012 and man is there a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck

To the OP, 2012Kona, as of your most recent post, you stated that you're satisfied and the tunes seemed to have loaded properly as of now, is that correct? If you're having troubles, please don't hesitate to let us know. I see you have an Airaid intake, did you order it tune-required (with the venturi-tube removed) or no? If not, please remove the VT because the tune is likely set up to run without it. Feel free to post up here or contact me via PM if you're unsure of which one you got.

You'll also notice the biggest change in performance when you switch to the 93 tune. Give that a try and get back to us with some feedback. Once you've got a couple of 93 octane tanks of gas run through the car, switch the tune to 87 Street (you can run 93 octane fuel on an 87 tune safely, contrary to what that person was trying to argue with you earlier) and drive around a little and then go back to the 93 Race. For an even bigger comparison, unflash the car and go back to stock for a day or two and then reflash to the 93 Race tune. That should give you some idea of the change. It truly is night and day over stock, even on 2011+ models.

We've spent an immeasurable amount of man-hours developing our tunes on the dyno, testing them on the strip and putting them through their paces on the streets in our own fleet of 15+ Mustangs, 4 of them of which are 2011+ models. Couple that with our 30+ employee owned Mustangs and the tens of thousands of customer owned Mustangs running our tunes, all we do is make Mustangs go faster. Several of those customers have chimed-in here to support that claim.

That said, we also take more time than anyone else to recognize and consider customer reviews/issues to ensure that you guys are enjoying our tunes as much as we are. If you ever have any questions or concerns in the future, please feel free to contact our Tuning Specialists directly or hit me up and I can put you in touch with them. Have a good one!

I have only run the car with it facing the way I feel is correct. I have noticed it takes much longer then 2 minutes to flash. Seems faster going back to stock then it does going with the tune.
