C&L Cai what tune to use?


I am installing a C&L CAI racer on my 08 Mustang GT

I have the diablo predator tuner Model u7145

I have the latest revisions of the predator software.

In this latest revision diablosports does not have any packaged tunes for the C&L cai

They recommend using a 95 mm universal tune, or get a custom tume.

All other parts are stock on my car.

What would be my best way to go to tune my car after installing the CAI kit?

I've had tunes from Bamachips and Brenspeed. Both are good, but the Bamachips tune is a bit more aggressive (and cheaper). You'll see a huge difference with either one, though.

BamaChips Tuning go there for starters. You can call them too. Pay some cash ~$75, tell him your computer code from the side of the ECM in the engine bay. Mine was a 4 digit code I have a 06.

Doug did me well. True story. I was in Birmingham at the 45th show in April. Doug was there aloing side c&l. He sold me the c&l kit with a diablo tuner. He said..pull you car around here to the vendor area and I will tune the car and install the kit while you wait. That was cool. He did it for free while I watched. It was a simple install but still. Really nice guy.

I recently installed a C&L Street intake with "no tune" insert. Last week I got an SCT tuner with Bamachips 93 tune. Took out the insert, installed the tune, and Wow! what a difference in throttle response. It took me a few rides to work just to adjust to the new performance. She now begs for throttle and chirps through third. Big improvement in exaust note, too.
