Anyone compared an American muscle " custom tune " to a brenspeed custom tune on a mostly stock 05 GT ?
Any difference ??

I was going to get a tuner, but decided on a dyno tune with a custom tune instead. I was told that tuners aren't really needed unless you want to constantly flash your puter to different settings. Its cheaper just to get a professional custom dyno tune if you have one in your area. Just my opinion.....

Hey there I am looking to purchase an SCT Tuner it looks like the best "bang for the buck" tuner out there. First question, I was looking to get the American Muscle Gear, Tuner and Fluid kit with the FRPP 4.10's. AM has a preloaded tuner and also a custom tune. Is AM a buzz kill for this tuner even with the custom tune? and 2 am I able to do a 91 Octane Tune as well as tune for UDP, CAI, 4.10 Gears ect...

Default HELP with SCT SF3 tunning with stock air box

I was wondering if someone can help me tune my 2006 GT with a stock air box?
I have the SCT SF3 and was wondering about the global spark settings
and fuel/ air mixture settings etc. If anyone has some setting to increase performance it would greatly be appreciated.

So today UPS will dropping off my Custom Tuned SCT X3 Programmer from Brenspeed. I know its probably easy to install but if you guys have any tips or suggestions I'm all ears. I know for a fact im going to need help changing the revs per mile for my newer wheels the size for those are 255/35/20 on all four corners I'm sure I can re-tune that right??

We have decided to purchase a CAI and tuner combo probably from Brenspeed. Anyone have any recs? We are also considering the same set up from American Muscle. I have spoken to the Brenspeed guys on the phone and they are extremely helpful. Please feel free to post your ideas and experiences.

Thanks again
JR

hey guys, stupid question for most on here but im new to mustangs but ive been around the car modd and tune block here and there. Im looking to try a sct tuner. I have a 07 shelby gt which means i have a frpp 90mm cai stock. I read and know that tuners come with and need a cai but i just what to hear it from u guys. But is that intake fine to run with a sct tuner? And also, does a sct tuner require a dyno tune? or can i just run their pre loaded 93 map? I understand a dyno will get more hp but id deal with whatever the tuner gets for now.. thanx for any feedback

When you buy the SCT Tuner from, lets say, Brenspeed, they will ask you what type mods you have on your car. When you tell them you that you have the stock intake, they will write the tunes to match this. If later on you decide to get a CAI, you can always call them back and ask them to update the tune. They will email you a new one and presto, you should be set to go. SCT tuners do not require a dyno tune. A dyno tune is something you can get later to verify/figure out your HP, to ensure engine is running optimal air/fuel ratio, etc.

Here is the pic of my Bullitt CAI from Brenspeed along with a 91 octane tune from them. It is amazing the extra power I gained, low and top end. Everything I read says most of the power comes from the tune and not the CAI. If I only gained less than 20 HP from this, I can't imagine what another 100 HP would mean. This car is now POWERFUL !!
