about to buy my tuner and i am going to go with the SCT X3 cause of the custom tunes available. but my question is; who should i buy it from? brenspeed? american muscle? bamachips? etc... are all their custom tunes the same? or is one of them better then the others? any recommended tunes? having trouble deciding how i want the tunes. mods are in my sig, thanks guys

 

not sure on who is the best, but im sure they are all good

 

Before I went supercharger, I didnt notice a difference with a canned tune. Its never going to be as good as a dyno tune. The whole point of a tuner is to put a custom tune from a dyno into your car. Just use the canned tunes until you can get a "real" tune then you will be happy spending that money for a tuner. Until then I dont think you will be happy with your expensive mod that you really barely notice. You would be better off spending the money on a set of drag radials...

 

Vmp performance gives out good tunes and they by far have the best customer sercvice. Ive herd a lot or people recommend them and say the same thing about the service. Personally I vouch on that as well as everytime Ive emailed them about something they emailed me back on advice and help and more tunes in the same day!!!

 

look at modular depot. They sell those and can give you a tune that they have dyno tuned on cars with similar upgrades.

 

im looking at modular depot right now... ill be buying one tomorrow. honestly i dont know whos going to be the best... the only real reason im getting mine is so i can log, change my limiter, and have a 2 step.

 

Honeslty I would never ever get a canned tune for my car. I had my diablo on there and when I found out how lean the car was with their tune and how far the timing was off I was really surprise it didnt blow.

 

+1 no one over the phone or internet can tune you car perfectly like a dyno can.

 

yea but idk about the op's situation, but i have a bone stock motor... and apperantly a decent stock tune... 90% of why im getting it is to be able to adjust ****, not for the "tune" itself... ill be getting a n/a and nitrous tune, and plan on throwing it on a dyno, or atleast buying a wideband and datalogging and seeing where im at.

right now im at a toss up btw modulardepot and vmp.... leaning towards vmp just because ive talked to the guy.

 

15HP is very noticable.. its not so much the HP but where the HP is added too.. i feel a tuner, even canned is a very quality mod, as long as you go 93 octane.
