If theres one thing I've learned around here in the past few years, 4.10s are apparently never too much unless you've got a twin screw blower, and even then there are a few crazy bastards around here who would disagree with that. I went 3.73s on my last GT and regretted it. 4.10s for this one...

rofl.. tell me about it.. I researched it til I was blue in the face. In the end, I heard the "warnings smarnings"... 3krpm@80mph, constant shifting while cruising, the apparent cut on top end power etc. I didn't bother listening. From 0-90mph I was glad I didn't.. from 100+ mph, sometimes (NA) lol

I had zero trouble with the tune even above 8000 feet MSL. Because of the roads less traveled nature of the cruise, I spent hours in cruise control between 6,000 and 8000 feet at around 60 Mph where the MPG computer reported in the 29+ MG range even with 3.73s out back. The tune has gobs of low end torque allowing me to climb up steep grades at 45 MPH in 5th!!! The engine never felt like it was in distress. Getting the revs up in 3rd to put the pass on slower traffic was no problem either. Yes, because of the altitude the car was not as quick but that is expected. I know you advised 91 Octane minimum. But I needed gas in Grants New Mexico and all I could find was 90. Must have been a high altitude thing. Ran fine on it though and I was able to get a near max capacity fill up of 91 before my final decent back to the low lands. What ever you did, it was good. Was your combined brain power at AM able to best that tune? Good fortune with the new business model.
Wow, thanks alot for the great feedback! Between Mike Wilson and I, we have been hard at work getting the Bama Custom Tunes at their top level. This included value file refining, new parameters, R&D in-house, training for many members of the AmericanMuscle team, etc. I think that we have refined the company internally to allow for the best aftermarket tunes to really shine! Thanks again and I'm glad you're satisfied with the product!

I put on my JLT CAI and Bama 93 Race Tune about 8 days ago. Drove to/from work 4 of those days and had an absolute blast. Early this morning I decided to just romp on it from a red light... WOW!!! Huge grin from ear to ear while leaving the ricer way behind in my mirror.

Thanks American Muscle and Bama!!!

I've only owned my 2008 Mustang GT for 2 weeks. I liked the car but I really felt like it was being held back.

I just installed a CAI mod plus the Street Tune from Bama. All I can say is "HOLY S###"! Talk about waking a Pony up and saying giddy-up.

The Bama tune worked great. My hat is off to American Muscle and this great product.

(This is my first post too!)
