Who has the Best Tunes?
Finally getting my car back after a week in the shop repairing factory ripples in the bumpers. Had it a week and it had to go back. Ready to do some mods. Who does the best job with tunes? Brenspeed, VMP, Bamachips ?

Yes it is. It is completely stock right now.

If my car was completely stock and I didn't have any immediate plans for engine mods then I'd shop for a used SCT or Diablosport.
But that's just me.

RE: Who has the Best Tunes?
i started a thread about this a month or two ago and after pages and pages of peoples input the verdict was bren, bama, vmp all have great tunes and great customer service.
the only bad thing i heard about anyone was
brenspeed might take a bit to get back with you if you call / email
vmp tunes make the tranny "clunk" sometimes when the converter is unlocking while slowing down (automatics only)
i could find no fault with bama, and he has a 3 pack of tunes for 115.00 which was cheaper than everyone else. i went with his 87 perf, 89 torq, 93 torq, and he threw in a 93 perf for free!!!!! i have been running the 87 perf due to gas prices and in extremely happy with it.

A canned tune included with either SCT or Diablosport tuners are pretty good and will cost you less money.
If my car was completely stock and I didn't have any immediate plans for engine mods then I'd shop for a used SCT or Diablosport.
But that's just me.

RE: Who has the Best Tunes?
Brenspeed has always gotten back to e right away as well as a number of other member on this and other forums. It was months ago but Bama was the tuner who actually had trouble with that.
As far as buying a usedhandheld and canned tunes do as you wish but remember when you want a real tune you end up spending more. Brenspeed,Bama, and VMP all have SCT's for around 380 with 3 tunes included. Also I wish I could have a penny for every thread I saw where people have had issue's trying to use preowned handheld. You cant go wrong with any of the above listed tuners
