Dang Tim, if I knew I would have went with the combo! Sickest combo and most worthwile you can buy IMO.

BUT, there still is a possibility. I am going to try out a Steeda tune along with a BAMA...pm sent

So, I just got my BAMA tune in and all I can say in wow, major improvement over the stock feel of the car. Def. the best upgrade I have ever done.

I did 3 pulls back to back, same road, same conditions. I'm sure I could do better times, but this is what I have so far.

These are 0-60 times.

87 Octane Stock - 6.8s, 91 Oct Stock - 6.4s, BAMA 91R Tune - 6.1s

Been seeing people get to the 5s with this car, so I don't know what is wrong with mine? .





87 Octane Stock





91 Octane Stock





91R Tune Bama

1, it's a convertible so it's a little heavier. 2nd, you probably have the 2.73 gears as mine does. Get better gears and you can be in the 5's with the 91R tune.

That's the next thing on the list.

It's a DD, but I don't drive too often, so I'm going to go with 4.10 gears. Looking around for someone to do the install as I type this

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I have heard the 4.10's are too high for an auto...that the 3.73's or 3.55's are best for the auto

With the automatic gearing you will find with 4.10's you have no first gear. It will shift out of first almost as soon as you start.

It is more than just the rear gears to consider when looking at choices. You have to consider how your transmission gearing is set up to determine the optimal choice for the rear end.
