[QUOTE="Apicia, post: 14134641, member: 60114"] I have had several Mustangs and SCT tuners for all of them. My current Cobra does not need a dyno tune yet. Still need to make a few more mods ;) Car runs perfect, makes no strange noises, but gets hot in traffic. I ordered the Bama SCT X4 tuner to lower my fan low/high temps to 200/210. She was getting too hot when sitting. It came with three Bama custom tunes and the device disabled the regular SCT tunes. Street, Performance, and Race options (all for 93 octane, as I use Shell 93). The car does not seem right with either the Performance or Street tunes. Car makes strange noises at around 3k RPM and coming off throttle (non-WOT driving). Sounded initially like detonation, but sounds more like valve train noise. I thought maybe the tune was changing my IMRC actions? Does the IMRC make audible noise when it engages/disengages? The Performance tune did have some detonation at times. This car is 17 years old and stock. I don't understand how a canned tune for a stock car this old can be so bad. Made a quick pull last night WOT and it didn't feel right half way through second gear (felt like it lost power), so I let off and coasted home. Maybe timing too high and detonation pulled back timing? Returned the car back to stock and she runs terrific again (except my high temps in traffic). Any ideas guys? [/QUOTE]
