[QUOTE="stang99x, post: 15639386, member: 169847"] I hope you like opinions. Because you just asked the question equivalent of Ford Vs Chevy on tuners. I only answer as I have recently looked into furthering my tune, but quite frankly I don't find the tunes that some of the big names sell to be economically wise for those with simple bolt ons. (and I mean the average car with CAI and exhaust, perhaps a few small others) I currently run a simple Bama setup via an SCT X4 and have been doing so for 2 years with no issues or complaints. I think their tune is perhaps a bit on the conservative side. But there will be people who scream that company sucks only use this one, etc and so forth. I think once you get into Forced Induction or cams or something large scale, then the big name tuners are probably a must. Until then, it would seem to me that you more or less are throwing away a bit of money using them for the minor stuff. For example, having recently spoken to a few vendors from here, it would run almost as much as I paid for the X4 with lifetime revisions included to get just a single tune from the bigger tuners......something I don't think is worth the investment with the mods I have. (Boss intake, 85mm TB, CAI, catless exhaust on an X) Perhaps in the future when I delve deeper into more extensive mods I'll reconsider having the bigger boys tune, but at this point I don't think it would provide an increase worth the effort. Good luck in sorting through the opinions to come. [/QUOTE]
