Not really. If you have an auto, you definitely want to go with Bamachips. Otherwise, you'll get the same gains. They're both excellent tuners and you won't see any more gains from one than the other.

Yep, they are both great tuners, you really can't go wrong with either. I'm not really sure you could label one better than the other.

One other thing to consider though is service afterwards. Now, both have great customer service, but Brenspeed only updates your tunes for free if you bought the other performance part from them, which is great assuming that is who you are going to get all of your parts from, but Bamachips will update your tunes for free regardless of who you've bought them from. I'll admit though, Doug from Bama has been quite busy lately and has been a little difficult to get a hold of from what I'm reading.

Can't say the Brenspeed tunes for auto's are any slouch, read any of my posts about it and you'll find that's not the case. My Auto is a monster now thanks to Brenspeed's tunes and the SCT tuner.

I have read tons of great stuff about both so just deal with whomever you feel most comfortable with. For me Brenspeed did a great shipping deal to Canada so that's where I went.

Very impressed with our Automatic Roush, I have thought about sending Bama my extra Diablo so I could put the two companies head to head on a Dyno and 1/4 mile times.

I would just say inny minny miney moe and pick one, they are both great.

If you don't like inny minny miney moe, feel free to use 1 potato, 2 potato, 3 potato, 4..., that works pretty well too.

Only reason I picked Brenspeed over Bamachips was the fact he had the WMS CAI. Other than that, I would've done the coin toss method...Oh yeah maybe not being I'm a UT fan
