Congrats! Did you purchase custom tunes from Bama?
I orderered custom tunes from Brenspeed and didn't need to adjust anything.

Cool! I'm sure other members that have Bama tunes will chime in as well.
Yes, from what I have read on the forum, throttle body spacers are paper weights. Put your money towards something else. ;-)

OP.

The only thing that I have adjusted on mine is the tire size. This is a global option and does not affect the custom tune.


Outside of that, you don't have to touch it. The tunes are pretty solid from them. Enjoy it.

It's going to be "plug and play" straight out of the box from Bama. No adjustments are required if you gave them all the info on your mods.
