Default Bama Tuned from AM

Got my Bama tunes from AM yesterday. I decided to just use the performance tune......WOW!! That is what a 'Stang is supoosed to do when you romp on the skinny pedal!! I also got a "race only tune". Any one used that on the street? If so, Just how "aggressive" is it?

I use the race tune from time to time as a D/D.

I have been using a 91oct AM race tune everyday for the past month or so.

Best tune I've EVER used. (have used Brenspeed, VMP, old Bamachips)

Not a single issue once you get used to the instant throttle response.

So I am not going to smoke the clutch, or bark tires at every red light and stop sign in town?

Not at all. The original race tune was a little more touchy than the updated version from AM.

I ran my Bama Race tune w/C&L Racer intake/4.10s, shorty headers for the first 2 years before going FI and it ran very strong! No issues at all, except for ferocious acceleration

Is ferocious acceleration a bad thing?????? LOL As long as it does not cut my MPG down to about 9 in town I am cool with that. I just did not want to end up looking like a 43 year old living out the "glory days" every time I pulled away from a stop. I will play with that after I get home from work.
