Default Those with super chargers what tune?

I tried this in the tuner section with no answer.


I have a brenspeed tune with my supercharger they installed, great people and company Btw. The reason I ask is I had both Bama race and brenspeeds 93 tune. And I feel the Bama race tune would just go, through all rpms and was just nasty lol. so I am thinking maybe a Bama tune for a supercharged application would be even better. I hear that brespeeds tunes are very conservative, but good. What do you guys think, leave it how it is or give Bama a try. Or do you think i would really gain anything from the switch? hopefully someone has tried both tuners.

Neither. ...well, actually, since they installed the supercharger, did they custom tune or use a canned tune? YOU WANT A PROPER CUSTOM TUNE. Period. Do it right.

Bama no longer tunes for superchargers. I heard he used to tune for Magnachargers back i the day, but that's about it. I already contacted them awhile back about it and even now with AM. I think JDM or VMP can also make great tunes for the Vortech..

I just run the Brenspeed tune and it works great

I ran a canned Brenspeed tune for the Paxton 2200. I noticed the fuel mix at WOT was too rich, so I sent them a dyno graph and they sent me a revised tune free of charge. The new tune was spot on on the fuel mixture, first try.

I know it is recommended that you take your car to be dyno tuned, but if you have the same problem as me; that is, you live in a small tropical island with few dyno tuners aorund, and all are honda civic tuning doofuses, then brenspeed should be your best bet.

You already used our tunes previously and loved them, what makes you think you won't love them again?

Also, whoever told you guys that we don't tune for superchargers was not entirely correct.

We do TONS of S/C tunes, just no vortech tunes, unfortunately. Vortechs need to be dyno-tuned to get a proper calibration.

If you check out this list: http://www.americanmuscle.com/notune.html
you can see what exactly we tune for and what we don't.
So, unless you have a Vortech/centrifugal blower on your 07GT, we could certainly tune for it!

He is right. OP it looks like you have a Vortech SC which means you NEED a custom dyno tune to get the max benefit out of your Vortech period end of story......

I would say if you want the most out of your supercharger a dyno tune is generally what a guys wants with his supercharger.

before we all suggest he get a dyno tune,
what does your dyno graph look like now?

if you haven't dyno'd it yet, you should do that first to see where you are at.
it may be pretty good how it is.
if it is on par with what others have with a dyno tune, i would leave it as is.
even if it is 5-10 hp off, i dont think a dyno tune is necessary.

but first, lets see what your dyno graph looks like.
