I have been looking at CAI and tuners. Two companies are offering life time tunes with the purchase, American Muscle and Stage 3. Both have impressive websites and good reputations from what I can find.

My question is are they really writing he map or tune they advertise, or do they have access to a library of tunes through the manufactor and just giving the tunes as programs they download?

Both have SCT tuner. One is Roush CAI the other Ford.

go american muscle / bama. these are libraries of their own tunes they created and dynoed then modify to your specifics.

I did the AM JLT3 kit with tuner and couldn't be happier. They have also responded to my emails within 24 hours so far.

I'd pick American Muscle. That's who I purchase my intake and tune from. Great service and timely responses to any questions and they get my tunes back to me quick.

Don't forget brenspeed..though the biggest draw to bama(american muscle) as I understand it is a warranty against # 8 failure.

For me the biggest draw to Bama is the customer service and that for their lifetime tuning, you don't have to buy the parts from them. Otherwise Brenspeed is a very good option as well.

I didnt know you didnt have to buy the parts from them in the future. I thought as long as they sold the part, the tune would be free.

My only draw back may also a plus, being located in Pennsylvania. I would pay 7% sales tax, but the tune would be at the same level above sea level and air similair. This might not be a big deal with all the sensors on the Mustang, but dyno tuning Harley's the sea level vs whatever level your home is can make a difference.

Brenspeed has Ford CAI and tuner special right now. $599 AM had it lst month.

Anyone know if these companies have a discount for forum members?

Brenspeed I believe does not, where AM has a 6% off one if you have 50 posts on the forum, as part of their agreement. If you participate actively over the next few days/week you can get there. PM one of the forum reps once you get there, either AMChirsYoung or AMChrisRose, and they'll give it to you.

If I'm wrong about Brenspeed, someone please correct me.
