Thumbs up GMS CAI switching to stock MAF

I ordered the Tillman street race tune (when it got emailed it is titled the Tillman all out tune). I have the GMS CAI and when I loaded the tune, the car ran very rough and threw several codes.

I then saw the bamachips tunes on sale so I got the performance tune. I loaded it and the car ran ok, but when it got to about 4500 RPM, it threw a code and went in to limp mode. I emailed Douglas Studdard at bamachips and he told me that I had to switch back to the stock MAF. I did that tonight and now both tunes work great and WOW they are awesome!

I just thought I would mention it cause I seem to remember someone else having similar problems. It takes all of five minutes to switch the MAF.

Also, if anyone is interested in GMS CAI (polished and looks pretty sweet), I have a Vortech on order and will be selling the GMS CAI.

I thought that Doug didn't make tunes for GMS.

As long as he knows the MAF housing dimensions, he can.

According to his site, due to poor business practice from GMS towards his business, bamachips will not tune for the GMS intake

guess Doug found out that GMS products were garbage and their bullcrap claims on their parts being better than everyone elses on the market.

Just wondering, do you feel any seat-of-the-pants performance difference with either the Tillman tune/GMS CAI/stock MAF or the Bamachips tune/GMS CAI/stock MAF vs. the original setup with the GMS CAI/GMS MAF?

The difference is HUGE! The throttle response, seems like much more power all the way through, before it was like it was being smothered. Both tunes are awesome, and I haven't thrown a code since. It would be really interesting to compare the curves from the dyno I did before if I got it dyno'd now.

Where do you find that on his site? I only noticed it after I placed the order, but it said he does not support GMS on 05 - 06 Mustangs I think. I see the notice on 96-04 Mustangs, but nowhere else.

Anyway, the tune works great with the GMS with the stock MAF.

Did the stock MAS bolt into the GMS without problems? I have the unit being discussed here and it works great and the quality is good. I am however ready to use my SCT for a custom tune. I still have the stock MAS anc can install it if it fits.
