What should I expect in my gains with my Borla ATAK, BBK blackout cold air intake and bama 4x tuner? RWHP and to the crank. My first mustang I have ever owned.

Do you hate your Mustang? Bama tunes are for people who hate their Mustang.

Since you're in So Cal, do yourself a favor and make the drive up to AED and get yourself dyno tuned by Shaun.

As for the CAI? I'm not overly impressed by BBK anything. I'd recommend you get a PMAS or JLT intake.

You'll gain nothing, or very near it, from your exhaust.

Being that you are in Cali, that BBK blackout cold air intake will suffer from heat soak pretty bad. Your intake air temps (IAT) are going to be quite high all the time. The heat shield is metal, along with the entire tube. You really should be looking for a polymer/plastic intake system.

Ditch the BBK airbox and install your factory box. If you must go with a aftermarket airbox, go PMAS,JLT or Steeda.

No experience personally with BAMA tunes... But I love my Lund 93 oct tune. Palm Beach Dyno does a good tune as well. Some damn fast coyotes running PBD tunes.

Steeda box, Lund 93 tune, corsa Xtreme I made 396 rwhp last summer in 91* heat on an outdoor Dynojet 248. Since then, Jon at Lund has worked with my datalogs and tweaked the tune a bit and says I might see another 5-10 rwhp.

Bama is the first tune ppl get when they are new to modding and see it all over American Muscle's website. Then they come here when the car starts having problems and everyone informs them that it's the shitty bama tune. Common cycle. Some ppl don't have problems though

Dynos are funny. You might crack 400 with your mods. I hit 402 with a CAI and a 93 Lund tune. Its best to get a stock baseline to see what your mods are doing before you.

Airaid intake....MBRP Street Cat Back....BAMA 93 tune.....

Car made 412 whp on a Dyno jet with BAMA's 93 performance tune... My car was #18 of 21 for the day on the dyno... They stopped the dyno 2 cars prior to me to let it cool down...

I have NOT had any issues with my Bama tune. Car has been running their tune since June of 2016 when my car was only 4 months old. There is another Dyno day coming up next month at the same Dyno and I just might do some pulls again but this time I will load BAMA's 93 RACE tune to see what it puts down..
