Tuning a manual?

[LBStang]

Has anyone with a manual gotten a tune? What are your thoughts and which tune do you recommend?

Lots of em have, most of the guys on here rock MPT.

Here's the main thread on it with feedback going back two years.

There's thousands of 3.7 manuals tuned out there at this point. Unlike many engines/cars, there's real only one tune worth money on the 3.7 and that's MPT. I've tried Bama/SCT canned and the MPT tune is better in every way. There may be other tuners out there but MPT is probably still the best choice. They make the whole process super easy and you get your tunes super quick. There's no damage done to the trans if you were thinking to ask that. These tunes don't make crazy torque, it's mores so just waking up and smoothing out what the stock map didn't tap, so it's not going to torch your clutch or snap your driveshaft or anything. Still worth it though i say that it is a must have mod.

Awesome, I think I'm leaning towards getting a tune, but I just realized that MPT doesn't sell to California...my state always taking the fun outta things...:shrug:

They might not ship there because of all the fun CA laws, but you could probably pick up a SCT X4 locally from someone else selling a used one and order the tunes with some sort of bs address because it gets emailed anyway.

Where are you planning to purchase your tuner? Ive been trying to find the best place to buy.

If you want new, I'd say go with whoever you want a tune from. MPT for example has a deal that includes the tuner and 3 tunes for $450 compared to something like $150 for the 3 tunes alone. If you get a deal on a used tuner like I did ($175) it makes more sense to go used and pay full price for the tunes.

I'm sorry but that is just a bold-faced lie, Unleashed tuning is also very good and I am having no issues competing against R/Ts etc. Just because some didn't take the time to datalog and like OTS/canned tunes does not mean the "there is only one tuner worth the money". The 3.7 is not some one off exotic engine that requires "special tuners".

It's obviously my opinion, take it or leave it. Nearly everyone on here and people I know personally that have MPT are satisfied with their product. I've tried canned and the MPT tunes I have are better. YMMV. If you like your unleashed tune so much, tell him not me. Trust me, I know the 3.7 is not an exotic engine, I never said it was

Lol, the majority of people here with MPT tunes also have odd quirks like "my vehicle doesn't start", "unusual bogs" or "low trap speeds", I've PM'ed them all and usually MPT refuses to datalog and make it right for them and going to other tuners or just living with it. I'd love accurate datalogged results from all tuned V6's here (not just MPT) not running canned tunes. Canned tunes just suck compared to vehicles that are properly datalogged. From what it seems I'm one of the few who took the time to datalog with an Unleashed tune and for some reason I have good results. I wonder why that is lol...

I don't know what your beef is man, but I really don't care. They're tunes, like I said, your mileage may vary. I'm happy your unleashed tune is working well for you. My MPT tune is working well for me. Life goes on.
