Bamachips 93 Race Tune Installed

Just installed the Bamachips 93 Race Tune on Christmas Day. Took it for a test run and to my shock and surprise, what a difference compared to the canned tune from DiabloSport. This new tune just wakes the car up and the throtle lag is gone. Even with traction control on, I can still spin the tires in 1st and 2nd and get a nice chirp in 3rd. The car just pulls throughout the RPM band. This has got to be the best mod I have ever added to my GT. I just don't know why it took me so long to do it. Now I have to wait till spring to take it to Mission Raceway to check out my ET's. Stay tuned for the results.

Custom Tune for the DiabloSport Predator

Well, after a four month hibernation, I took the plunge and purchased a new DiabloSport Predator 93 Race tune from Bamachips on December 13, 2006 and arrived via email a couple of days later. Here is the info on this tune from Doug at Bamachips. "BamaChips newest Race tune will further enhance the driveability of your new Mustang. Using the highest grade of fuel available in your area, I can write a tune that will bring the throttle responce to life. Enough so that I wouldn't recommend it for daily driving use as it may try to jump out from a stop and possibly even spin the tires. This wouldn't be good if you were beside a police car.One of the true benefits of this tune is that it doesn't increase the timing or reduce the fuel so it can be used with only the premium grade fuel available in your area. Finally with the automatics I use an entirly new shifting curve and torque converter scheduling to further enhance the all out performance of the car.I can make this tune for most any list of mods except for forced induction, I can make a tune for you guys as well but you would have to come to me for this as I don't do tuning via email for that." Since it's now winter season, I un-installed my Steeda CAI and also installed my stock rims and tires. Good thing too, we had a load of snow dump on us in November. I didn't want to drive around the snow with my aftermarket rims and take a chance in damaging them. When the weather gets better, (Spring) I'll re-install my CAI, wheels & tires and the tune to feel if there's a difference between the canned Predator tune and Bamachips tune. Stay tuned.
