Which tuner?
So my wife wants a Christmas suggestion for me.
2014 3.7V6 auto. I'm not looking to track the car, just want more responsive, eliminate throttle lag.
American Muscle has these 3 different tuners for the same price, which one would you suggest?
SCT SF4 Power Flash Tuner (96-17 All)
Bama X4/SF4 Power Flash Tuner w/ 2 Custom Tunes (11-14 V6)
Bama iTSX Wireless Tuner w/ 2 Custom Tunes (11-14 V6)

I've had a SCT tuner for about 3 years now and I use the 91 octane race tune for daily driving. It will solve the throttle and response problems. It also improves the shifting on your auto trans. It's lots of fun too!
Some people will bash Bama and tell you to go elsewhere but I've never had problems with Bama tunes.

Another question, I have a Macbook and these say they are only compatible with Windows. Is a Windows computer necessary to download the new tunes to the Tuner?
The wireless tuner says you can use your phone or tablet to load new tunes so I assume a Windows computer is not needed?

I have the bama one and the original tunes come preinstalled on the tuner..if you need a new one, then yes, you will need a windows computer. Don't know about the wireless ones. Does it say any specs, android or IOS?

I used my windows computer to store my stock tune in case the tuner ever craps out on me. Since it's "tunes for life" any mods you do that require a tune will need to be emailed to you. I don't think you can use a mac for those tunes.

I believe iTSX has an iOS version if you have an iPhone...not sure about the Mac issue specifically though. I'm using iTSX on Android and it works great! You might try Steeda's tunes for life too. Test results are in the links in my signature line if interested.

According to AM's website it says "PC/Windows, Mac OSX and Linux Compatible"
But I'll know tomorrow when it comes in. Gotta download my factory tune and email it to them so they can write the custom tunes. Actually I'm all stock so don't think the custom tunes will make a difference from the pre-loaded tunes.
It's the Diablo Intune i2 if that makes any difference.
