Default CAI/tuner from Brenspeed or American Muscle ?

Which of the two has better service? Everything I read on this forum leans toward Brenspeed. Has anyone used American Muscle CAI/Tuner combo?

TIA

American muscle doesnt write tunes as well as brenspeed or bama. Everything else, order through american muscle. They have free shipping, low prices, and great customer service.

Thanks very much for your input. Brenspeed here I come. What do you think about the Bullitt and also the C and L tuners?

I just bought a CAI and turner combo along with some underdrive pullys from American Muscle. I am having them installed tomorrow i'll let you guys know how it turns out.

No comparison. Brenspeed's tunes are better than those from AM, Steeda and other "canned tune" providers. Plus, Brenspeed's tech support is hands-down better. They'll customize your tunes in ways that AM would only "dear-in-the-headights" respond to.

Maybe i'll have to try one of the Bspeed tunes because the one AM gave me today is great and you guys praise this stuff like it walks on water. I just got it and noticed a big increase in tork ect.... Can I just call Bspeed and get a tune from them or do I have to buy a tuner with a CAI? I also had underpullys put in and maybe that made it that much better but i'm pleased with AM.

you can order a tune (or more) from brenspeed (or Bama). I would highly suggest it. Brenspeed and Bama are the two most talked about tuners on this forum. Either/or will really put a new smile on your face... also, Brenspeed updates their tunes for free granted you buy whatever part that needs a new tune from them... Im pretty sure Bama will upgrade for free none the less...

Brenspeed, hands down. You won't find better customer service in this market, period. And if you make future mods and buy the hardware from them, they include a new tune for free (I think). If you're the mail order tune type, this is pretty huge.

For customer service I'd say Brenspeed, for performance I'd go with Bama.
