Hey folks - been doing a lot of research on various tune vendors, specifically Lund, AED, and Bama. I have not modded my car yet, but will be ordering all of the following this week for my 2014 GT:
-ARH LT headers
-ARH offroad x pipe
-Flowmaster Outlaw catback
-Steeda CAI
-SCT X4 tuner
Question: based on reviews, I am leaning toward AED, but whose tune will produce the best street performance on 93 octane? Who has the best response time for email tunes, and will data logging be required?
Thanks for your help!

So I understand... If I go with AED, I notify Shaun of my mods, and he sends me a tune. The data logging occurs afterward to tweak the initial tune, correct?
when you contact Shaun initially, he'll reply with a list of PID's he wants data logged and instructions the particular logs he wants, when the logs are complete email them back to him and he'll write you a base tune, youll then data log again using the same PID's and log types, send them to Shaun again and he'll check the logs and make any needed adjustments
Thanks scott_0.
What do you mean by "PID"?
Will all mods need to be installed prior to the base tune being created? I'm concerned about getting the COT tuned out ASAP due to the offroad x.
While I can't define PID's they are basically a list of points he specifically wants you to log. There are probably 150 in the list but he only wants to look at certain ones so you go down the list and check them off. Simply email Shaun pay for the tune and tell him your exact mods. He will email the base tune, install the mods flash the car and start it up. Take it out, datalog it and send those to Shaun. He will make adjustments based on the initial datalogs and send you the final revised tuned.
Yep, I had to send my "stock tune" to my tuner motorvationefi before he could write my pony a custom tune. Now I have a new pony so I'll have to start over again.
I just got my tunes done with Shaun about 3 weeks ago. Shaun is real easy to work with. He gives you the option to do the data logging on the street or dyno. I got a deal on dyno time, so i chose that, plus i was able to see my HP. Once my datalog was sent to shaun, i had my revised tunes within a couple hours.

I haven't heard of Shaun requiring a data log before providing a base tune, but I'll have the means to do so if needed. Really looking forward to seeing how the car reacts.

Thanks Dan. The folks on this forum have been a great help, and I'll be ordering most, if not all, of the items in my initial post from AM. I think I will go with AED for the tune. So many positive reviews of Shaun's work.
Makes sense. Does AED offer free follow-up tunes after the initial fee is paid for the base tune? I know Lund and Bama offer something like this, excluding new tunes for major upgrades like forced induction or nitrous.
I want to tune my car as well.. Anyone in South florida ever try power by the hour? I think lund tuning works out of there. I'm kind of scared to try mail order tuning again because of a previous experience but the only one I would give a shot at would be AED.. I only have axle backs, x pipe and cai so I kind of feel like that isn't enough to take to a dyno when looking at the price difference between the dyno tune and mail order from AED, but I will feel safer going to a dyno but I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with these guys.
You realize you can get a hypermotive tune for $100? That's what a mail tune should cost aed charges too much for mail tunes imo. Hypermotive will also tweak off a data log if you want.

Jayman, I have a stock '13 6 speed with American thunder axle backs. Does a tune make much of a difference in a stock car. Also, what do I need to tune with you. I guess I would need to buy a tuner, like sct or something. I can get a roush cai and a sct sx3 for $400 used. I was going to do this a while back but I didn't know about buying a used tuner because it may be locked or have to buy tunes. In your opinion, what is the best tuning device. Also, can you do the launch control in your tunes, or the lopey idle like the track cal? Thanks.
