It's "Bama" not "bamma".

And there's no such thing as a Bama tuner. It's an SCT tuner that has a preloaded tune from Bama.

Tuning your car will void your powertrain warranty in most cases. Ford will not be footing a bill for an engine if your car is tuned.

Nice Ride bro.

as far as a CAI you can get some that don't need a tune ( Roush-some JLT's etc)
but the tune is a different story. but some store the stock tune so if you have engine problem you can retune it to stock then bring it to the dealer

Returning the car back to stock will do you no good at the dealer since they'll know if it was tuned or not.

The PCM stores how many times it has been flashed. That info is stored and available to the factory. Mine is at 29
It is always a good idea to return to stock if going to the dealer. If you have an engine problem warranty will not cover it if you have re-flashed the controller...with that said you warranty is still in affect on the rest of the car. You might have to push back a bit but ultimately it should not be an issue. Look at my thread on " Testing warranty theory".
