I'm looking at doing the same thing. One difference I see is if you buy from AM they say free tunes for life. I don't think Bama or Bren have that deal do they?

Bama and Bren don't to my knowledge but then they have a boatload of custom tunes they've developed over the years. I don't know if AM does any dyno-canned tunes like the other two. They *May* just use what the OEM of the CAI suggests which is why they say free for life, no R&D on their part.

Interesting point. How much does Bama charge for a new tune? If I have to pay an additional 50 bucks every time I add something for a new tune that'll get pretty expensive.

Call Bama, Brenspeed or Tillman and tell them what you are looking for. Any of those 3 are much better options than buying from someone with "canned" tunes. May be slightly more expensive but you'll be ahead in the end.
If you find a cai that you like the looks of and want to buy it then buy the tuner and tunes from one of the 3 mentioned above that is also a good option. I happen to be of the opinion that there is little difference between cai's. And there are many that agree.
If I were making the decision it would be from one of the 3 listed above.

Whichever you choose is better than stock. I personally would do the brenspeed or bama. I chose bama and am very happy with the service and tunes.

I really like the Brenspeed. Have heard about recent delays in delivery with Bama but that may be cured. Have also heard good things about Bama's tunes for auto trans.
Either Brenspeed or Bama is likely going to give you better tunes.
