Can I download a tune for my 2002 Mustang GT after a cam swap? I put stage 1 comp cams had them degreed but didn't get a tune and the car stalls after it warms up.Can this be done online or do I need to go to the shop?
you know....this is just a thought only because I don't know how the "bama tunes" work other then what it says on the surface..."free tunes for life". But, it may very well be cheaper to do it that way. I know the place I got my dyno tune runs specials all the time....3 power pulls for 95 bucks....but it always seems to cost anywhere from 350-500 for a dyno tune.If you can't get a true dynotune, opt for a remote tuning where you go run it on any dyno and get the graph and datalog the parameters they ask you to. You email it all to them, they create you a tune and then you load it via email. Then you go back to the dyno and repeat the process and email you the stuff back. One last dyno trip to verify and you're done.
It doesn't end up being any cheaper after you pay for dyno time, but if you have a dyno but no tuner nearby, it's a good option. Some can even do it off of just driving datalogs, but you would need to install a wideband on your car, so again..... no cheaper or easier than just taking a day off and driving to the dynotuner.
Unfortunately, Bullitt is right that we are unable to supply remote tunes for 2V motors with cam or head upgrades. They're too unpredictable as to what the AFR will be like right off the bat and we are unable to ensure that a remote tune will work 100% as it should. Those cars need to be put on a dyno with a real-time wideband gauge hooked up to monitor the AFR as it changes. If it were a 3V car with a stock wideband o2 sensor, we could have you datalog it, but on a 2v that isn't an option sadly.Last time someone asked, Bama/AM wouldn't guarantee tunes for life with cams, because of the liability involved with doing mail order tunes with major mods, such as camshafts.
With CAI, midpipe, pulleys I ran 13.6@100. While that's a tiny bit fast for a 2V, I would put that closer to what they SHOULD run than 95mph with those mods. While the elapsed time can vary, the MPH will be semi-close no matter the skill of the driver, and saying that 100mph is too fast is ridiculous. Eddy21x's automatic convertible with full bolt-ons and 4.30's traps at over 103mph consistently.I never saw a stock Mustang up to 2004 run anywhere near that,temperature and other factors play into the equation,the best a 2003 Mustang GT with CIA,new exhaust,pulley's and TB could do is 95 mph 14 sec. I think i'm doing very well for what I have.
Elevation there is only around 120ft, no different than where I live. I know it's no more humid than NC in the summer, and there's no "black hole" where cars just won't run as fast other than elevation, barometric pressure, heat and humidity.not in my part of the world you won't run those times or speeds.
