The proof is in the pudding..... Alternative Auto 14.6 and 14.3 Boss244 fastest NA autos on the site. If you want you can watch my vid and see how a properly tuned auto shifts gears. Good Luck

Proves absolutely nothing. Are we going to start this crap again?

What good is a tuner without the CAI? Who has tunes that do not include a CIA?

I called Dough from http://www.bamachips.com and he explained in laymans terms what the CIA does and what the tunes do. I'm just waiting for my Christmas present.

2006Ride, with the mods you are showing in your sig, any given tune from any shop, well any reputable shop (VMP Tuning, Alternative, etc.), will probably be within 5% of each other. Look for the best price you can get and make sure you get all three tunes (87, 91, and 93 octane). Also inquire about future mods, like if you add gears, will the tuner mod the tune for free or for a reasonable amount. When I first started researching my XCal2, I was quoted a higher price from one shop for a tuner with one tune. They wanted $100 for each additional tune (and that's not with dyno time), so shop around.

At least we have timeslips to back up the claim. That has to count for something .If there is a better tune out there ...that makes my car faster ...hell ...i will buy it,but for know, the fastest Autos run tunes from alternative you cant dispute that.

Yeah my Chevron runs 87, 89, 91. I'll have to keep a lookout for this super premium one.

I can dispute that. You know every tuned auto running in the U.S. ? Or you know the autos running here? Know any autos that have done all the same mods you have, and run a tune from another tuner? Nope? What about tuned cars that don't run 1/4's ?? You actually know very little. You know what your car runs. That's about it.

Actually, the fastest autos are tuned by Bamachips, that is, all the X-Men with XChargers. Or maybe the Predator tuned for a turbo is best. I mean, when you pronounce your tune the best, you don't consider mods, so, then I guess it's acceptable to point out that a car with an XCharger is faster than yours, and it's not tuned by Lido. So, he's not fastest.
