I know Matt personally and have never heard a single complaint from anyone. Not to say there aren't any. Yes my car is just bolt ons but a car specific tune is always better. I can tell you this. Even though I run the bama 91 race tune, it could use some tweaking. The MAF needs to be tuned, we could squeeze a few more ponies out of the tune as well as most online canned tunes are just that canned.

I agree completely. I've had a frpp tune, which was complete garbage, then a brenspeed tune which was decent but I was able to get another 9rwhp by tweeqing the a/f (my car liked 12.5 at wot the best. any richer or any leaner and i lost power haha) with my handheld, and then a brooksspeed tune which has been by far the best (for power and driveability) and I was able to get another 4rwhp out of it with my handheld on the dyno.

You stock 4.6 guys with a SC or Turbo have to be careful when you approach the 420ish spot cause that is just too much power for your rods and it is like shaking the dice every time you tromp on it or go to the gas pumps. Build the motor and take away the worries.

Yea I'd agree with that too. Most agree around 450rwhp is the top end before the rods like to get some air time, and that's with a perfect tune. Most don't realize just how important having a perfectly dialed in tune is. For example, a local guy threw a procharger on his 06gt, was dumb enough to take it for a spin around the block before trying to tune it, and blew a piston through the side of the block. But then again the guy obviously was of a deminished mental capacity because he paid 6500 to get another STOCK 4.6 281 from ford when for that price he of course could have got a decent built whatever.

My SCT excal3 is on the way with 87 street, 91 performance & 91 race tunes set up for my FRPP cai.
I ordered it from American Muscle and I do not know if the ex Bama guys or ex Tillman guy wrote the tunes but either way they are said to be kick *** tunes.

I have to burn off a tank of regular first I guess before I can load the 91 tunes.

I'll report the verdict on the tuner/tunes once I get them loaded on the car.

Bama teamed up with american muscle. I believe once you buy a tune from them now you get tuning for life.

Change that 87 Street to a 91 street, you are not going back to regular gas after you run that 91 race tune, especially if you have an automatic (you will love the shifting).

Yes, AM has the Bama free tunes for life program on new tuner purchases no matter where you buy future performance mods.

I was originally going to buy the tuner from Brenspeed but they will only update your tune for free if you buy the performance part(s) from them that necessitated the new tune.
I understand why they do this...they have to make money....but it's a buyers market on these tuners I guess and most people are probably likely to buy future parts from a place that they get their tunes as the comfort level is already established.

I did the street tune as 87 octane on purpose actually.
I only drive the car on nice days and mostly only on weekends so my plan is to run the 91 performance tune (maybe the 91 race...who knows) as my driving tune.

Once I install the bullitt cai and load the 91 tune then I am set.

However, if by chance I ever go on an extended weekend trip somewhere, I will take the tuner with me in the rare chance that I am somewhere out of the way that may not have supreme and I have to put 87 regular in the car.
Then I can just change to the 87 street tune and I will still be ok with the bullitt cai and all should be well.

You cannot use the bullitt cai unless you have a tune for it because of the bigger maf size so I am trying to think ahead for any future one off situations.

You can't get 93 here either. Otherwise I would have went above 91 for my 2 tunes.
