Not bama. SCT and Lund are easy to use and good.

Is there a reason not to go with Bama? Haven't heard of Lund.

Wow, this is a lot more complex than I thought. I've been putting in some time and research and it looks like they're all pretty good. I'm not sure about the nguage for the handheld part. So I'll probably go with the SCT or Diablo.
I had an SCT tuned by Justin at VMP when I had a 2001 Cobra years ago, it worked pretty good. The primary reason I got a tuner and tune back then was I had 4.30 gears put in so I needed a speedo correction.
For this car, I want it for the mods it already has and for some tunes now that I know more about tunes.
Anyway, I'm not sure how aggressive I want so I'm still debating. The car isn't a daily driver but I don't want to beat on it either. So nothing too aggressive and nothing to passive, something in the middle.
I'm guessing that to be VMP or maybe even AED.
Recommendations from what I've updated my original question with?

If you have super basic mods any SCT Xcal tuner will do. You can adjust parameters for most popular aftermarket parts.

Going with a SCT for the programmer.
Tunes are narrowed to:
VMP
Steeda
AED
I'm looking for a solid tune with good gains, however nothing too aggressive.
Suggestions?

I have a BAMA tune and love it. You can't beat tunes for life. A tuner like Lund only gives you 1 free tune revision. Bama will revise or modify any tune as many times as you want.
