So coming back to the main post.... wich one ?
I havent used a tune fron Brent. So, no comments there.

I use the 93 Octane Race and Automatic Transmission Tune from Doug in my daily driver. Its like driving a race car to work everyday. I really like it. Pulls like crazy in all gears, yeah even in 5th gear. The drive to work everyday is a lot of fun.

Had my car custom dyno tuned by Doug. Dougs canned tunes are almost dead on to the dyno tune, atleast in my car they were.

I agree, no canned tune is going to run the same in any two cars. All Mustangs are not created equal.

From what I have read, I dont think you can go wrong with either tuner.

Personally go with a shop that updates the tunes for free; Doug @ b ama c hips does that. Not sure on VMP but they are great guys so I think they would. Go with whoever updates the tunes for free in the long run, with brenspeed you have to pay 75$ everytime u buy a part and need a retune.

True.... I'll give a call to Doug tomorrow and explain him my problem.
I got a mail from brent that said just to get my timming from 0 to 4, got a lil improvement but not as i feel as it should be, I even have terrible lag if i step on the gas from a roll sometimes, like nothing happens for a full sec [&:]

When I bought my intake and tuner from Brenspeed it said on the site that if you have a CAI/Tuner from them and you need a new tune, they will send it for free...not $75. I am not sure what the truth is though since I have not needed a new tune. Go to this page and click JLT 2 INTAKE W/ XCAL2 05-07 GT
(sorry it's a javascript link and I can't paste it directly in here)

Another completely satisfied B a m achips customer here. I installed the C&L Racer with X2 and it's amazing what a difference it made over stock. I have an auto and there is no way you're gonna shift a manual faster than this tune shifts the auto. I get rubber through 3rd gear now.

Those are the key words. In order for brenspeed to update your tunes for free, you HAVE to buy the extra mods FROM THEM. However, if you go through BA MAchips, they will update your tunes for free no matter where you get parts from.

BA MA is the way to go!!!!!!!

I have a quick ? I want to order a C&L street intake and sct 2 tune. But I want to order from someone that will change my tunes for free, if I upgrade...like add udp's exhaust, tb, headers, etc. even if I don't buy from them. Someone said B-ama does this for free, any truth to this. Does anyone know about evolution performance, cause I want to order from them because they are the cheapest place for the package.

I have both. I purchased a CAI/Tune package from Brent and also additional tunes from Doug. They are comparable and you will not be disappointed with either. If you are running an automatic, Doug does some things to the shift points that enhance the tune that much more!
