I ran the factory tune for 10,000 miles, then tuned with BAMA for the next 10,000. I had done a revision in between, and at times had jumped between the 93PERF and 93RACE tunes.
I purchased the Steeda email tune, briefly ran the factory tune (like a 10 minute drive) and then loaded the Steeda tune and was extremely happy with it under all circumstances except normal mode in DRIVE which had a soft shift feel under higher throttle. Then a few weeks ago I ended up with a warranty issue so I reloaded the factory tune which I ran for about a week and a half while going back and forth with them etc.
I then retuned it with the Steeda file and that attribute of soft shift in standard drive is gone.
I had done the KAM reset before etc, but it never seemed to do much. But I guess having the car relearn the factory tune for a good while again, then switching to the Steeda resulted in favorable results in any mode.
Anybody else had a better experience going factory tune for a week or so between custom tunes, vs a KAM reset?
By the way, this Steeda tune is unbelievable on all levels. The low end torque is insanely more responsive and it has a very smooth but powerful boost response (the BAMA was always very jerky, and shifted too often). If you own an SCT tuner for $150 for Steeda's email mod, it's amazing and by far the best experience I've had with my EcoBoost yet.
