[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16257284, member: 166576"] No worries. For simple things like a few minor bolt ons, they will do in a pinch. As you have a real shop ready to handle the big boy tuning Im less concerned as a fellow Shelby owner. So, a place like Lund Racing has a data base of known-good information and calibration details for a huge variety of modifications. You submit all the details of your car, and they compile a tune for you. Some of it may not be any different from your factory tune, and some might be slight mods to your MAF transfer curve (intake) or A/F sensor delay (long tube headers). Some might be completely different fueling tables based on fuel and boost. Either way, your car is sent a base tune. You install and log it while driving a specific set of conditions. Send that data to Lund and they review. If they are happy with how your car responded to the base tune, they send you the actual full send tune. Bama is essentially ghost tuned and are sending out precanned tunes. Like maybe a few more degrees of timing on what a base Lund tune would be. They have also been known to manipulate the throttle angle tables to make it "feel" more aggressive. So you press the gas 25% of the way. If stock was meant to move the throttle blade to 25% open, they would command it 35% open etc. Realistically its fine for your average Mustang GT owner looking for a bit more spunk. If not done correctly, a bad tune for a boosted car could be disastrous. [/QUOTE]
