Just wondering what everyones take on tuners. I'm stuck between diablo and sct..
No issues on with my VMP tune with my automatic. You must be reading in the wrong places.I was close to ordering a tuner, but there is still a few issues out there from what I am reading. Stalling, uploading, hard shifts on auto, surging etc. On such a new car I think it's better to get a custom tune where you actual air fuel /timing are being looked at. It will also get you the most performance.
No problems with my EMAIL tune. Does this "local" shop have any experience with these new motors?Well thanks for all the info. I guess I should have started by saying I won't be using email tunes. I'm having it dyno tuned at a local shop. So a tuner that can hold 5 custom tunes would work great. Plus it's a manual and nothing is stock on this car..
You are always gonna read about issues.....this is the interweb. Its like looking up reviews for shoes,clothes,computers ect ect. You can always data log your canned tune afterwards so they can tweak it. And getting a custom dyno tune on a stock car or a car with minor bolt ons is a waste of money. I personally have had zero tune issue on any of my cars,past or present.I was close to ordering a tuner, but there is still a few issues out there from what I am reading.

Does a tune impact warranty? What are the pay-offs? Is there a real incease in hp or fuel savings?
+1000Yes,it will void the warranty. The tune will increase the performance and throttle response. Add other mods to that and you will see better results. If you are worried about your warranty dont do it. If you bought your mustang to mod like most of us did,go for it.
Yes there is A increase in fuel economy as.long as your not in race tune goosing it everywhere lol but if you drove say street tune conservatively you would definitely see resultsDoes a tune impact warranty? What are the pay-offs? Is there a real incease in hp or fuel savings?
Technically true, but who pays the lawyers when they tell you no .ThinBlueLine said:That's not necessarily true, the dealer would have to prove the tune directly caused the part to break for them to not warranty it. If they just outright remove your warranty without proving it, that is against the law and huge liability on their part. Look it up.

The dealer doesn't have to prove anything. And you do know why the MM act was first put into place in the 70's do you? So you couldn't be denied a warranty for not using OEM oil filters, air filters, and PCV valves etc etc. That is all, nothing more.That's not necessarily true, the dealer would have to prove the tune directly caused the part to break for them to not warranty it.
