Which Tuner to buy from

[Larry C]

Ok so my last upgrade for now is the SCT X2. But who is the better tuner Bama or HIA. I just emailed HIA, Bama was very slow to respond and is now only selling through EE. no price chagne.



I have an 05 ST XLT Premium 4x4 with 4.1LS and K&N up front, DymoMax UltraFlo in back and the X-specc rear sway bar and lowering kit.



I do have 30" tires, 255/70-16, But just ordering 17x7 0 offset wheels with 245/65-17.



Steoro is next.





Also I'm in IL and they just mandated the statewide use of E85. anyone use this yet. I'm looking at at least the 2 91 tunes or bothe 91 and 89 performance tune. never use low grade 87.





Thanks.

I didnt know they made a 4.1 Liter for the ST

Duece, he means a 4.10 Limited Slip diff.

I think that's 4.1 Limited Slip, Duece...



I'd say Hypillauto, but go through his web site and make a post and ask your questions. I think Wayne is having internet issues currently, so if you have any questions, just ask me, and if I can't answer them, I'll give him a call.

The Xcal 2 gives you up to four options, Stock + three modified programs. Same price.

I emailed HIA yesterday.



I was just asking if anyone had dealt with both of them?

Please explain. How can they mandate somene to use fuel that is not comptable with their vehicle. My 2002 Trac and my 1996 Escort is not E-85. How can they mandate it?

Well my 2000 ford contour is flex as is teh 05 ST.



They are mandating that all gas stations carry it. But it's up to you to use it. But for like .50 - .60 cents cheaper which one would you use.



But ya it's really cheap, but you get really bad mileage and performance out of it. Onw of my co-workers ran a tank in his 03 or04 3 or 4L ranger and he said he got at least 2 days less driving time. to and from work as a guage.



So just wanting to see if anyone has tried tuning it yet and hopefully got good results.

You loose MPG, but gain power.
