So nobody else has an opinion about just staying with the Bama tune if I'm pretty much stock?

And D- if Ford determines that it's not the tune and the tune didn't cause it, then they can't void the warranty for having a tune if the tune didn't cause it.

I'm not worried about that- just saying.

If you're happy with the car and the way it runs, stick with your bama tune. Axelbacks do virtually nothing for performance enhancement, so your car is essentially stock with a tune. Switching to another tune is an option but not necessary.

If you just want more information about the status of how your car runs...datalog.datalog.

Agreed 100%.

Yep that's what I'm doing. I just got off the phone with Bama.

I'm going to see what they want done and send it to them- and then do it again when it's warm I guess. I'm not sure what differences a datalog at 30 degrees will have that may affect the tune at 100.

Yeah- I don't mind being stock with a tune for right now- it still doesn't "feel" slower than my GTO did with 430 (fat pig and top end cam). I'm saving for a s/c and doing all my power at once.

Car might add/pull a little timing, but not much.

Do you have an auto or manual?

A6.

Downloaded everything from SCT I need to datalog.

Sadly, they still will. A dealership won't be able to go as deep as Ford themselves will into determining the failure, but knowing that you've tuned the car, even if it didn't directly cause it, good luck trying to convince them otherwise.

Isn't the law that if they determine it wasn't the tune then they can't void the warranty for something they just said didn't cause it?

I don't see how that's right. Either way I don't have a warranty other than factory.

It's muddy water, really. There is a law the technically prevents it, but you would spend so much time and money between lawyers and court fees it's really not worth the hassle.

If you need any help datalogging, many of us here can help.
