I took my car to the dyno a few weeks ago to get the A/F checked and to see what my problem was in fourth gear. My car is a 2008 GT/CS auto trans. The car has a factory Bullitt intake, Bamachips canned tune, off road X-pipe with Magnaflow mufflers, and 4.10 gears. My car is basically a "Garage Queen" and is basically only driven to Mustang shows and events in South florida. At the end of december I took the car to the track and had something weird going on in fourth. The car felt like it lost power and stopped pulling. When I took it to the dyno it was running lean and had a weird blip in fourth gear from the converter. A friend of mine was having the same problem aswell.
My friend contacted Doug at Bamachips about it and he mentioned he was coming to Florida for the NMRA race in Bradenton. I live on the east coast and Bradenton is on the west coast. Doug offered to stop by and check out our problems before heading over to Bradenton. We reserved dyno time at MacDonald motorsports in Stuart florida. Doug was able to remedy our fourth gear problems and took care of my lean condition. I can't say enough how greatful we were for the great customer care! My friend and myself will deffinetely be Bamachips customers for life!

Well, I have mixed feelings about this; he had the knowledge to fix it, but it was his canned tune that could have blown your engine. I thought their canned tunes were from years of experience and thousands of cars, so why was it off so far to start with?

It wasn't that lean. My car is N/A so there was no chance of engine damage. I had all intentions of just having him send me a new tune through E-mail. When he had the chance to spend some time first hand with the car I was thrilled. His tunes are from years of experience and there are thousands of cars with them. In a perfect world all cars with said options and mods should be the same but we know how that goes.

Awesome!
Doug is a great guy! I had the pleasure of meeting him last summer and having my car dyno tuned! He was able to get me about 20 HP and 20 TQ throughout most of the middle of my powerband and fixed my converter lock/unlock issue I had with another tune. I am also a loyal Bamachips customer!
