Time for tunes...finally
Well, its finally time to get a tuner, I have a summer job and some cash to throw around.
The question is where should I get my tunes from?
Alot of people are probly going to reccomend Alternative auto just because I have an auto, but thats not an option because 87 is the lowest octane around here, not 89 witch is AA's minimum. I would go ahead and get tunes from them anyway but I really don't feel like paying more money at the pump than I already do.... so any thoughts, opinions?
I'm kind of leaning towards b a m a just because I know Rygen ran them for a while...and well his car is a monster.. lol
Any input would be killer, and much appreciated.

either place isnt bad, AA did my tune I have now, he can do a 87 tune no problem. Its the best tune I've had, the car runs strong
B A M A is a great guy and has a great product. I had his 89 R/T, great tune. Doug will also make another tune for you as well. There are others out the as well Brenspeed and VMP ETC....
Who ever you go thou talk to the tuner and tell them what you want...my advice is save for a dyno tune and you'll see wonders.....lol

RE: Time for tunes...finally
When Lidio installed my C&L and tune he asked me if I wanted an 87, 89, or 93 tune so I'm sure he will tune for 87. I went with the 89 and have been very pleased. When I thought about the gas prices, I realized the the price difference is anywhere from .02 to .10 so even if the tank were completely empty, at worst it will cost me an extra $1.60 to fill up. The 89 tune had no negative effect on my gas mileage.
