do I really need to dump the $600 and get this tuner?

No buy an sct tuner along with a true dyno tune. That is the best safest way to ensure you do not damage anything.

The trinity is just a fancy Xcal.

**m_tyler_r** · 04-23-2013, 08:02 PM

that's kind of what I was thinking. thanks for the input

If you want the ability to constantly monitor multiple engine parameters on the fly without a computers and you don't have track apps, then it is nice to have. If not, yeah, just stick the Xcal or TSX system.

is there a certain one I should go with or just a regular one from AM

Try and find a used SCT if you can. Don't waste your money on bama tunes. Much better options out there. Don't be afraid to buy a locked tuner either, at a reasonable price. Bought mine for $75 locked, $150 to unlocked only through SCT, and I'm still $150 shy if what a new Xcal costs.

Stay away from Bama tunes. They have blown up more shit than Al Qaueda.

Bullshit, the more I read up on alot of other forums the more I find that to be untrue. I reseaarched and researched before I made any purchase. They sell almost 5x what other tuners do so any failures would be more attributed to them. If I build 100 cars and the next builds 10. Who do you think has a greater chance of having more problems?

I can show you threads where Lund racing has fucked up tunes as well and then not emailed the customer back for weeks afterwards.

If you had actually done your research as you have said you'd be aware of all the background info and there is no way you could possibly say anything positive about Bama tuning. They had a HUGE issue on their hands there for awhile.

Don't be so harsh, Steve. You and I both know that Bama used to be one of the most prominent tuning companies when it came to Mustangs. Unfortunately, that isn't the same Bama that now operates under American Muscle.

AM & Bama outsell everyone else because of the "scam-ish" warranty they offer with the "#8 Guarantee" and the lifetime tunes. The lifetime tunes are awesome, but any tuner than has any idea what they are doing now knows that the #8 issue from tuning as been completely resolved. But a lot of people out there don't research and realize this, so they put trust in Bama nothing will happen. Great marketing strategy.
