Default Need a advice on a tuner

I need help with choosing a tuner, I was leaning towards Steeda because from what I was able to find they haven't had any cylinder 8 issues can anyone confirm this. Please share experience good or bad about any of the tuners out there. Thanks

Steeda has not lost any to the #8 cylinder failure. I am running the Steeda Ultimate induction package with the 93 octane tune. It is strong. Gives you more power throughout the RPM range. It is not overly aggressive but it will deliver when called upon. You will also loose the infamous throttle lag. If you have an automatic you will also see enhanced & sharper shifts. I have a MT82 though. You should net around 30ish RWHP and a little better on torque. If you call them, let them know you are a forum member and they will give you a little bit of a discount. Remember it is the quality of the custom tune and not a canned tune. Hope this helps. I really do not think you will be disappointed with Steeda's tunes or intakes.

I've been using BAMA Performance for quite some time, the tunes for life program is great, and so is the support. I've sent my data logs to them to fine tune a couple times, and they do a great job getting the most power they can safely produce.

BAMA also has a warranty that comes with their purchases specifically for you 2011+ guys that have the (extremely rare) potential for failure or other issue with your #8 -- as long as you aren't running a turbo/sc/etc... Check out the AM site for details on the warranty.

As far as tuners themselves go - I've been a fan of SCT for a long time, though the Predator I had wasn't bad. I'd steer away from things like the iPhone apps, as Apple/Android could shut those down in a heartbeat.

I will say, however, that at the end of the day - not many tunes stand up to a real dyno tuning experience... And most dynotuners don't charge a ton of money more for N/A tunes, and they'll include the tuner in the cost.
