Bamachips 93 Race - OH MY!
#13
I'm amazed at all the t-loc comments. I plan to swap gears for 3.73 and syphon out the tank to upload the 93 octane tune from DS for the current 87 octane, soon as she comes out of storage. Already talked to my mechanic (Ford certifed) who said t-loc really wasn't going to be an issue unless I was over 300 HP (a GT). T-loc will also greatly INCREASE the cost of the gears/rearend. Hope I don't regret these Spring time changes...
i used to be switching back and forth the first month.. then it was race tune 24/7

OK, the Ford Engineers are not stupid. There is always a trade off on tuning. There is no free lunch....So what does BAMA chip sacrifice to get this amazing power increase?
I don't mind sacrificing things, but I want to know what they are so I can make the decision.....such as ...will it pass emissions? Will I need to replace the torque converter sooner?
Thoughts?

there is no real 'magic' here, the tune is for a higher octane than called for from ford.
higher octane = more you can advance the timing.
timing = power
thats not saying these cars probably arent detuned from the factory a little bit.
i imagine a lot of people would be pissed buying a car (especially a 6) that required premium fuel.

not everyone wants break neck acceleration and tire burning launches at every light lol..
Glad to hear of it's performance enhancement.. going Bama race tune this springtime, along with 4.10s, exhaust cutouts and full race delete plates..

glad to hear your enjoying the new tune as much as I am. As far as a t-loc, I've been running the race tune with an open diff for awhile now with no problems turning. I don't take turns fast though, but I do spin off the line if I give it more than 1/4 throttle.

Congrats on the new tune. The open diff is only bad when it's a rainy day and you gotta jet across the road, but you start sliding everywhere. Other than that it's fine. Can't wait until I get my 8.8 in.
