[QUOTE="stang99x, post: 15641255, member: 169847"] I meant the opinion of tunes and tuners and like the opinion of Ford vs Chevy guys. Ford guys don't drive Chevy's. Chevy guys don't drive Fords. (and dodge guys are just lost in the back....lol) I use the X4. You could upload a different tuners tune into the X4 so essentially if you do the deal that AM has you get the tuner with free tunes for life from Bama and if you decide to change tuners you can still use that X4 which you would have paid the same price for either way. There are more expensive tuners out there, but for the purpose of simple uploading there is no need for any fancy ass device. You use it for 10 minutes to program and then I put it in the trunk where it lives until I need to run a revision or update. Some of the other devices have displays with gauges etc, but I don't see the need. For data logging purposes you just plug the thing into your laptap and shazam there's your log file. As to what tuner to use, again really depends on how much you have done or intend to do. The big name guys charge big ass fees. And a simple swap of an intake manifold can increase that cost by 50%.....whereas with the tunes for life you just submit a revision and within a few days (or less, mostly about 24 hours) you have a new tune at no cost.
