American Muscle or VMPtuning?
 
It's finally time to buy my tuner. I've already decided on the SCT Livewire, thanks to graduation it is now affordable. BUT. Where should I buy it? American Muscle uses BAMA, and I've read too many mixed reviews on their tuning. VMP I've seen nothing but good comments. AM has free tunes for life though, and I don't think VMP does that. The free tunes for life will be great because I have plenty of future mods that will require a tune, and I won't want to shell out $50 for each. Should I go with BAMA? Or VMP?

I have VMP and it has been great. I was recently thinking of trying a BAMA tune but changed my mind.
If it isn't broke why fix it?

I used BAMA and I have no complaints so far. Car performs a whole lot better than stock. I guess its all really preference.

I have always heard "Choose VMP and ask for Justin"
Apparently he knows the 3.8 mustang very well.

VMP FTW

So, if I go with VMP, I will have to fork over an extra $150 for every future mod I make, to update my tunes on the tuner? Id that what you guys with a VMP tuner do?

For 6 months after purchase if you have any changes its free then after the 6 months its like 50-60 bucks for an update. Don't quote me on the price but its in that neighborhood.

Justin's fast and he'll hook you up man. Very easy to deal with also.

Perfect, I'll be choosing VMP then!

j_gutta870 07-07-2010 07:37 PM

Good deal.

I had VMP tuning for awhile. then tried bama...to be honest i love the feel of the Race Tune with bama than the VMP all out! Just feels better...guess its just preference

Is there a big advantage to putting a tune to a v6? do you guys see a big jump in performance?

It's not like you need a new tune for every mod....

The ONLY time you should need a tune is with longtubes, boost, spray, or head/cam/intake work.

Adding an x-pipe or CAI does not require a new tune, nor would it really help if you got one.

more timing even on a stock motor is going to make gains. I got some nice gains N/A with my tune.

Oh and VMP all the way.

And tunes in this section is ment to be for music lol.

Moving.......
