AED, Lund, or Steeda email tune?

[Reds197]

Lund and VMP are my choices. AED would not make the list.

That's what I'd like to know as well. I rarely hear them mentioned.

I don't think Steeda has the kinks worked out.

I don't think Steeda has the kinks worked out.

Hmm I wonder how long that will be. Perhaps they will chime in.

Beefcake, you're definitely at the top of my list. PM me pricing on the JMS pedalmax with controller and a Lund tune please. Is the Lund tuning a one time tune or multiple tunes when mods are added?

Na updates are no charge, Just e85 or power adder.

So make as many changes as you like. And don't forget, we're around 8am to 10 pm seven days a week to Assisi with any questions

I run a Steeda tune and unfortunately it didn't have a difference from the canned tuned... doesn't appear they have as much experience and testing with the S550. I had added some more bolt ons, H-Pipe and requested a better throttle response yet they referred me back to the tune they gave me originally and said it should work OK. I wouldn't recommended them until they can get more testing done.

I've had between my 11,12(auto) 13,15 Mustangs tunes from (yes I know sick man) from BBR (11, 12) VMP(12) Steeda(13) AED(13) and finally LUND(15) for the auto VMP was by far the very best between them and BBR.

For the manual transmission BBR seemed to have the most torque. AED on my 13 was ok, Lund on my 15 is ok. I will say the BBR felt really good (manual), perhaps it was due to it being my very tune and very first new 5.0 experience, but it did rock. Take it for what it is

I've ran both steeda insert in/out tunes. I liked them, shifted firm and evenly in all gears. Had slightly better low end then stock SCT and brenspeed tunes. Brenspeed revs higher and at times hits the rev limiter before it shifts. Also the shifts are kind of weak, which could be better at maintaining tire hookup. I'd be still running the stock steeda tune but I pulled the cats and Matt from steeda sent me an f'ed up version with the rear O2s turned off(car wouldn't run worth a shit). Feel like steeda is blowing me off. Where as brenspeed is A+ on service. FYI... If you have an auto..don't remove the cats, will loose 5lbs of Much needed torque. Gain 10-15 on top end. Sounds way louder and really good though. Don't go big tube CAI either...kills low end also. You can't do shit to the autos without loosing low end. Basiclly a panel filter, good tune, h-pipe and maybe hi flow cats. That's it. Manuals can get away with the higher power band.

I have my cart at steeda with a suspension pack, tuner, and cai, and one at beefcake with eibach suspension, gauge and JLT. over a $300 difference. Ill have to think about this one now...

just installed my steeda tune for stock 93 octane this morning. it sounded healthier when I first started it up, throttle response is much better and it revs to redline much quicker. this is the way it should have come from the factory. steeda claims almost 19 more rwhp on a manual. I love it so far. HTH

Why is that? Because of the fallout from another board?

Also have a Steeda 93 tune loaded up along with their CAI. My GT is an auto and the shifting points are much smoother than the stock SCT tune were.

So I've been fighting the low speed bogs and just put the stock air box back in and flashed the steeda tune again. Its now a tire frying machine! 1,2,3...sideways down the road. Had the k&n on it which would 1,2,3..bog. Before that was the steeda CAI which would hookup threw the middle of second. Worst was the steeda without insert, most of the time I couldn't even burnout in 1st. I went 12.90s [MENTION=17112]10[/MENTION]9 insert out and crapping out off the line. Went 12.73 @ 110.76+ with the insert in slightly crapping. All the CAI are a joke unless you have a custom tune, manual or stall converter. Everything depends on the MAF and the relation to how far away they put it or how large of a tube is used. Stock is 85mm, k&n threw a dart and decided 92mm would work on a stock tune..wrong! Steeda came close with 88mm but the tube is to large and kills low end on autos. Jlt has lots of issues with dieing at an idle 110mm. Notice how many are being sold used. Sorry for the rant but I'm tired of the sales sharks that are roaming around here. I'm out $1000. Save yourself and do what I said earlier above. If you do cut the cats leave it at Mandel 2 1/4. I went 2 1/2 and that's were I lost the 5lbs of torque below 2k. I hope this info helps people.

I never see anyone advertising a cai without a tune.
Steeda cai can be run on the stock tune but you need the restrictor.
