Default Tuner?

Are any of you using a pre-programmed tune? I have a jlt cai that I have not installed yet. I had a tune scheduled at hpp to have a custom dyno tune but some things came up and I had to cancel. I seem to not have the time to go get it tuned. Are any of you running bama...etc tunes. Which one do you recommend?

I had a canned tune from VMP when I first got the car. Justin does great work and it was only $50. I went 12.10@115 on that tune, with muffler deletes and DR's on the back.

I think Ill go with the BAMA tune for now. I dont plan on doing any more power upgrades for a while. Ill get the suspension dialed in and then wheels before any more go fast parts.

I'm running a VMP tune and love it. I also had a BBR tune briefly that was mushy and had dead spots in it. Manny at HPP will be doing some tunes on my car next month.

I doubt he has any graphs yet. He really doesn't care about the numbers now since it's a stock car, but rather cares more about making the tune spot on.

He's picky about who he tunes for because he's got a VERY limited schedule due to his job being on the road most of the time.

I started with a BAMA tune since I bought my tuner from them. I used them for a while then eventually had TrueStreet in McKinney tune it. Frankly, it didn't make much power difference, but the driveability/auto shifts, etc. were better with TS.
