Thinking about a Bama tuner
Hi, i've been seriously thinking about getting a bama tuner. I know there are several people here that have them and have good things to say about them. I just have a few questions before i put my money into one. It seems like it would be kind'a an expensive mod.
First, does it take a while for your mileage to improve after you program it? I thought i heard that your computer needs to relearn its strategy.
Second, do the custom tunes remove the rev limmiter? I generally don't rev my engine that high. I'm just worried that i could damage something.
And last, What tunes should i get? I think it comes with 3 of them doesn't it?
Just some info, I have 120k miles on my engine, automatic trans and an E-fan.
Thanks+ sry for the long post,
CAW

I'm not sure what kind of gains you will get with the old OHV 4.0L but as far as power goes with a SOHC his mail order tunes make as much as 17hp over stock on the wheels and about 20Lb/ft of torque. Doug can get more if he has a chance to dyno the truck with an A/F meter. I haven't gotten mine yet but I just ordered it 3 days ago so I can't wait to try it out.
