Going to get a tuner, whose should I get?

As the title says. I plan to get an SCT but I want to know who you guys like best between Steeda or Bama.

I realize this is like asking what is the best oil or best tire but I want opinions before I drop cash.

I got the Bama and love it, but never had the Steeda so can't comment on theirs.

I don't think Bama is as good since Doug is not there anymore, I'd go with Brenspeed.

I've had both. Sad to say Bama could never get it right w/my Bullitt but it wasn't for lack of trying on their behalf. Their customer service was top notch. The tune- not so much.

Steeda was perfect from the get-go w/my '14 GT. Never had any issues- predetonation, decel burble, damage to gas mileage. I told them what I wanted based on the limited mods and they built it. It was a solid tune. I'd recommend Steeda in a heartbeat.

The question should be "who's tune should I buy?"

With Doug no longer with AM/BAMA, then I'd lean towards Brenspeed. But I've heard good things about Steeda tunes.
