I was wondering which Bama tune would be best for autocross? Considering that my local autocross events take place in parking lots where we barely reach 70 mph, which tune would be best?

Street, Performance, Race or other custom tune?

I'll appreciate it if Bama guys could jump in and give their suggestions.

Thank you for moving it to the correct section.

I agree the average is 25-40 mph and rarely goes over. However, the reason I said 70 was because I have seen it on some autocross videos.

I will try autocross first with the race tune. As of right now with the CAI+Tune it is very aggressive, plus next week I'll be installing 3.73 gears and some NIttos to improve the spinning.

If I can handle the power with the Nittos, I'll definitely try the hybrid tune. Thanks!

Man I would love to get into auto cross racing or road courses but I dont know of any close to where I live. It sux!! I'm not much of a fan of drag racing either but there are plenty of those tracks around...lol

This is a very helpful site to find events near you, mostly are ROAD RACING events.

Honestly for autocross the stock power is more than enough. Last autocross I went to there was a guy in a '13 5.0 and he was staying in 3rd gear the entire time!!! I was bogging in 2nd around the course, but in 1st I was too torquey....... There is a reason those miatas do so well at autocross. It's all about suspension.

I think anyone would get killed in 3rd gear where one spends a lot of time on corners. When entering and turning on corners we would need 1st gear or 2nd if the corner is not too sharp.
