BAMA: race, torq or performance. - 4/25/2008 7:50:12 PM    tientran   Posts: 133 Joined: 9/16/2006 Status: offline I read at the BAMA web site. It says that torq is great for daily driver ( power band is focused from 1500 rpm to 3500 rpm). Performance is great for track ( power band is focused over 3000 rpm). BAMA does not recommend race tune for daily driver. I am using 91 performance tune from BAMA. It runs very good, but, I want my car runs stronger. From your experience,which 91 Bama tune do you recommend: Torq or Race tune? My car V6, auto. I use it for daily drive. I drive it mostly local, not much on freeway. Thanks. < Message edited by tientran -- 4/25/2008 8:50:45 PM > Post #: 1

It's not so radical that you can't use it for daily driving. When you're really into it, the race tune feels stronger. _____________________________ '05 Sonic Blue- Work in progress quote: (at 45) "I didn't always have a happy childhood, but I did have a long one" (in reply to tientran) Post #: 2

What about the intake? Thread jacking :P _____________________________ 07 4.0L V6 Perf. White Pony Package - Stacked up on mods.

The Burble - 4/27/2008 2:44:26 PM    slowhiteboy   Posts: 25 Joined: 4/5/2007 Status: offline I run the Race Tune from BAMA with the John Demolet CAI and I really love the sound of the race tune. It is unique from all of the other tunes, a deeper rumble. Of course I had to give up eating for a month to fill it with premium but there are always tradeoffs! (in reply to 68XR7) Post #: 9

They look better on car than in picture. I am happy with the foglights. At night, I see the road better. I always turn it on at night. I have three mods that I think they are worth the money: tune, foglights and dual exhausts. (in reply to cam2904) Post #: 15
