Installed my JLT CAI and loaded up the tune from Bama, and now the car won't run I'll have to call Bama in the morning and try to troubleshoot.

Only 18K on the odometer, the MAF is positioned correctly, and the TB looks pristine clean.

And for the record, not bashing Bama. Their reputation and free tunes for life is the reason I went with them, and I'm sure it'll get worked out.

Did the tune install properly?

It appeared to. I've always been a pushrods guy before, so this is my first experience with a tuner. I tried both of the 87 octane tunes, and it did the same with both. I even disconnected the battery for ten minutes.

Just as I expected, a 5 minute call to Bama straightened it out. When I submitted the order for the tune, I didn't include the CAI I ordered with it as one of my mods, so the tunes are as if the air box is stock. DOH! I was dumb and assumed since I was ordering it as a combo that the tune would be FOR the CAI.

Kudos to Bama for figuring out the problem right away, and helping me out! Awesome customer service as always!

I can definitely tell a difference with the 87 Octane performance tune, have yet to load the 93 Octane race tune. Running a full tank of 93 through first.

When I had my 2006GT I was going to get the JLT and Bama Tune. I got lazy and just dropped in a K&N Filter. Glad you got it working. I didn't nearly have the fun I should've in that car. Only mods besides the K&N was an SLP Cat Back Exhaust. Also had a Pioneer 7" DVD / Navi System with Amp in place of the Shaker 500 system.
