I know it doens't really matter between JLT and C&L, though I'll prolly get C&L.

Go with Bamachips, you'll get a better, safer, tune.

I have 2 93's once from Evo and the other from Bama.
I originally got the EVO and although it took out the stall, it just did not seem like I was gaining much.
So a year later I purchased a 93 from Bama and Wow there was a difference. Hit the gas and OFF you go, tire squealing and all.

As of last Sunday I decided after running the Bama for a year or so, to put the Evo back in to see what gives, Well lets just say that stall is more revealing with Evo, and not much rubber burning, so swapping back to Bama today.

Anyhow this is just my opinion, and maybe Evo has a newer better tune. I'm not sure, but all in al I like Bama's better for my wants and needs.

go to lundracing.com and e-mail jon lund, he is the tuner at evolution but i don't know if he made the mail order evolution tunes or if fred did. I would definetly have jon hook you up with a tune, just tell him i sent you and you might get a discount or free, who knows!

you dont get a "bamachip".

You go to bamachips.com and purchase a tune from doug studdard for your tuning device whether it be a tuner or a chip, i would recommend the SCT XCal3 but some people go the diablo route.

after much searching on many mustang forums I ordered a Bamachips CAI and tuner as well. I read many good things about evolution too. Everybody seems to recommend BAMA though

I'll say this much... Evolution is a little more aggressive on their tunes than some of the other tuners out there.
