Would the "barbaric" tune be harder on the tranny? And do you think i could have him have 1 high octane tune with it and 1 with the regular tranny tune?

Now John, we would expect you to blow Lidos horn, I on the other hand I will have to blow Doug's horn. Both tuners are excellent and you can't go wrong using either one. I had talked to Doug about his tuning philosophy, when he was tuning on my car, he told me he could probably get more out of the 4.0 but the long term reliability of such a tune would be questionable in his opinion. He tunes the 4.0 to the limits of the engine as he knows them to be. We all know we would hard pressed to disagree with Doug when it comes to the 4.0, given the vast amount of experience he has with this engine. But the bottom line is, we all have our favorites...don't we John

actually the firmer shifts are easier on the tranny... i don't know much about trannys but apparently soft shifts mean the belts are slipping... with a firm shift the belts don't slip... ???? Also the "barbaric" is setup up so you really only notice it at WOT...
And i do believe he could set you up with the tunes you describe...

As I said, we all have our favorites, and I can see why your loyalty would lie with Lido given all the work he has done on your car and the results of that work. I'll say it again, you can't go wrong with either tuner , so to anyone wanting an opinion as to which tuner to use...your answer is which ever tuner you want.........but I still say Doug is the man when it comes to the 4.0 experience is experience...

Gotta question for Lidio's customers, so i ordered my tuner yesterday over the phone and gave them my computer code and current mods. He told me that he would give my info to "the boss" and it would be shipped out the next day...but I forgot about what tunes I want! Do they email them to you? I would have called them back but I only thought of it today.

It was a hard decision, but Bamachips won out, I have had several e-mail conversations with Doug and going to go with his combo,
Hey John, just as you, my car is a work in progress, the BARBARIC tune is still on a list, who knows what i'll have laying around my garage floor in a few months Thanks to all for their tips on the BEST available for our 4.0s.

Hey,
Everyone has to make their own choices. There are many performance shops around to choose from, so do what is most comfortable for you. I look forward to seeing all the non-Alternative Auto vehicles at the track this season. It's the other Alternative Auto cars I'm worried about, they will be the only competition!
Enjoy!
