The stock tune runs just fine. If you aren't changing the intake that requires a tune or any other part that does, then don't get a tune just to make it run better. Because it won't. It won't make any difference at all. It's like pissing in the ocean. It's actually a waste of money. The only time you should get a tune is when its required or when you're trying to go as fast as you can.

OP's car has a GT350 Intake manifold and an unknown tune, and issues. Main reason I recommend Wengerd is his willingness to help people.

Lemmie know when you actually blow somebodies doors off. Ha-ha.
Well I did shoot a half filled oxygen bottle with a 7.62 NATO round that was inside a junk car.......

If OP doesn't have IMRCs then he should probably look for a better tune.

His manifold has IMRC's and vacuum lines are hooked up. His rev limit is above 7500 RPM so it has some kind of a tune.

He does have the stock TB and the VMP adapter so a stock tune would work.

OP you can go to your local dealer and have a stock tune flashed and the car will run. I still stand behind having Wengerd tuning it. It is more expensive but it will run better this way.

Your gonna always have some drivability issues at the transition point, around 2000 rpm, with CMCV delete, no matter who tunes it.

If you follow the gen 1 tune you get a smooth transfer.

He had vacuum line issues and CEL's now his vacuum lines are correct, no CEL's but idle issues. So it looks like his tune is with CMCV's on. But who really knows. All we know is his rev limiter is above 7500RPM

So I'll give my experience with the bama tunes. On my 2017 I had purchased a used power pack 3 kit off of ebay and needed a tune to make it work. I ordered the bama tuner which is just an sct and the first tune they sent had the car dialed in and driving like a stock vehicle. And it felt pretty good until I had the money to have Luis ortiz do a proper tune and it made the car a total monster. On my 2021 I used the rtd with palm beach dyno tuning it once again a monster. If you have mods and absolutely need the car running then use the bama until you can afford to get with a more aggressive tuner.

However, it helps when you have an auto transmission
