I did a couple of searches and couldn't find threads addressing these exact questions but if there's a general tuning thread that has tons of FAQs addressed (like the BMR all things suspension thread), by all means, please point me in the right direction.
My car will be out of warranty soon and I'm interested in adding a little bit more power without dropping a ton of money on bolt-ons. Based on some initial reading and having browsed the forums casually for a while, there's a decent amount of power being left on the table with the stock tune. I've seen some threads here and in other forums comparing tunes from Lund, AED, Brenspeed, etc. and just to make sure I understand generally how tuning the Coyotes works, you need a tuner (such as SCT or DiabloSport) in order to upload a tune to the car, whether it be one that comes with the tuner itself or a mail order tune from one of the aforementioned companies. Do I have that right?
If so, does the tuner (the tool itself) matter so much as the tune that you upload? I am not knowledgeable enough to make adjustments myself so I imagine I'd just use a pre-loaded tune or get a mail order tune from Lund or something.
My car is a 2014 GT, six speed manual, with about 26k miles. I've mostly used it for weekend driving and autocross up to this point. The only mods I have are Roush axle backs, lower control arms, and adjustable panhard rod. I have a JLT oil separator, Barton shifter bracket, and BMR upper control arm that I'll add when I have time but the engine is stock. Is there a preferred tuner/tune combination for folks with no engine mods? Eventually down the line I'd love to do headers and a full exhaust but my modding needs to stay on the cheaper side for now.
Thanks for tips or links to relevant threads. Cheers.
