Has anyone actually used it? Scroll down until u see it.

bump i am interested in this as well

 

no one with experience with this???

 

I am curious as well.

 

Isn't that a step backwards in technological innovation? We have flashing tuners these days, and there cannot be any secret advantage of a chip over new technology. Looks like a canned tune... err.... chip. I say no dice.

 

Also, notice how their description boasts torque increases, but the dyno chart they use to "back it up" with claims to show horsepower.

 

interested in their traction bars for my ranger was debating getting this at the same time

 

I call bs on that 'tuner'

 

In fact, it has become quite obvious to me that it is for pre-ODBII vehicles. Not sure how I didnt think of that before, in which case a chip is the only choice for aftermarket computer tuning.

But 45 ft.lb. of torque? Highly unlikely. I'm also not buying that dyno chart at all, simply because it's completely illegible. I tried really hard to read some of those numbers.

 

how much of a gain is expected on a 4.o with just a free flow air filter? wish there was one that just controlled the engine....most of the them change shift points, i have a manual trans so paying for a major feature/ selling point that i cannot use, which is why i am looking for a more cost effective alternative

 

It's actually a fallacy that manual transmission owners have no use for a tuner. Tunes are written quite predominately to improve the air-fuel ratio across the ENTIRE RPM range to a point of optimal consistency. THAT is the major feature / "selling point." ATX vehicles simply benefit from changed shift points and shift hardness.

I should add that I have learned these things while hosting/joining Doug from BamaChips at multiple dyno days as I watched him alter tunes after each pull to meet optimal A/F levels, as well as several other engine performance aspects.

 

Will the firmer shifts reduce trans life at all? Also, will the Bama let you control Torque Converter lockup?

 

firmer shifts should increase trans life or so i was told as there is less slippage occuring in the trans...
