Brent Yager (yagermister) used or still uses AED. I would PM him if you want info on it. And the best gas is E85.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

I've used Bama for awhile and they weren't bad. A little more hp, more pep, and great customer service.

I've used AED for awhile longer than I did Bama. A lot more hp and pep over Bama, and great customer service.

If you change things on your car frequently or need to tune your car for different temperatures, track conditions, etc tune it yourself like I currently do with the SCT ProRacer Package. When I started tuning my car myself I used a VMP base tune and it was ok but with all the engine changes and trans tuning I needed, I have had to change every single parameter VMP provided to something else.

Don Yaxley, Johnathan Kelley, and Eric Wood like VMP and have had success also.

Many of the members here also use Kevin Dunn (04sleeper) here locally. He tunes on the side from his normal job and is not a shop. He does a phenomenal job and the great thing is that he is local!

I'm going to join the VMP list soon. I know his tunes take awhile to get to me, so we will see once I get it.

I do know the joke, thank you. That's why I responded like I did.
