Default where should i get my tunes from bamachips or breenspeed?

I finally decided to get a tune. I have an 06 gt and im going with 91race,91torque, and 87 performance are this good tunes i use my stang for daily driving i dont go to the track or any like that. Also what if later on i decide to add more mods like gears, headers,sway bars would i need to buy more tunes or can i use the same ones? Or should i wait unitl i finish all my engine mods? Thanks.

I've heard great things about both places....the only thing I've heard that separates the two is that Bamachips is apparently better with Automatics..

Go with Bama, obvious reason is he retunes for free when you add parts.

I have bama 93 race and brenspeed 87,91, and 93 octane tunes. I prefer brenspeed's tunes to the bama 93 race, but supposedly the torque tune is better than the race one from bama. bama will update your tune for any mods you add (excluding power adders). brenspeed will update your tune for free if you buy upgrades from them. however besides headers and delete plates, i dont see any other mods that would need an updated tune. you will be happy with either tuner.

I've had tunes from both and dealt with customer service from both.

Tunes are about the same; customer service from Brenspeed is WAAAAAY better.

I've been trying to get an update on my tune from Doug for some time now (about a month and a half). He'll easily lose track of your emails or ignore you if he doesn't think your request is important.

So don't let the "update your tune for free" thing from Doug sway you. 'Cause it's not worth it. I've been wanting to install my X-pipe for a bit now, but haven't heard back from him (and I'm pretty sure I need to update my tune to account for a new midpipe?)

Conversely, Brenspeed's customer service always got back to me about any question I ever had within an hour, usually within 15 minutes. Their tunes are great, and their quality superb. When I get my supercharger, I'll be shipping my baby to Brenspeed.

Having a Diablo, I have only dealt with Bamachips. I haven't had any issues with customer service.

No need for a tune a new mid-pipe; however, if it's an o/r then you may need a tune.

I have only dealt with Doug thru email, sometimes it takes him a few days to respond. But that being said he has been more than willing to work with me everytime I felt there was a problem with my tune, usually within a matter of days another tune is waiting in my email box.
