Description

Bama Custom Tuning at AmericanMuscle. Power. Performance. Personalized. Proven

Power
96-98 Cobras have dyno proven gains of 30 RWHP and 35 ft-lb's of Torque or more on Bama Custom Tunes. By optimizing the air/fuel ratio and tweaking variable cam timing, a Bama Custom Tune is proven to squeeze out the extra horsepower Ford left on the table.
Performance
Drastically enhanced throttle response and a much more aggressive throttle map will dramatically improve your Mustang's acceleration, shaving tenths off your quarter mile time while throwing you into the back of your seat every time you smash the gas. Automatic transmissions will see an even greater gain in acceleration and drivability, as the tune adjusts shift points and firmness.
Personalized
For each and every Bama Tune, we ask you 19 questions about your specific Mustang, including your unique set up and intended use, in an easy to use web form. This information allows us to write an entirely custom tune just for your specific vehicle to ensure we deliver the most power and performance possible.
Proven
Our Bama Custom Tunes are developed in-house on our Dynojet 224xLC chassis Dyno. Hours of research and development through street, track and dyno testing/datalogging left us with fully refined custom tunes. The Bama Performance team has exclusive access to our inventory of parts.

3 Bama Custom Tunes:

5 1996 Cobra - Brian57

Good product

The tune was easy to install and setup, and made a noticeable difference in the throttle response and seat of the feel. I live in a northern climate, so the car is only driven in 3 seasons and not everyday. Very pleased, this product did what was advertised and expected, can't ask for more than that.

2 1998 Cobra - ChrisB

Can't delete EGR/O2s/SAI any more.

My car doesn't really NEED a tune yet for the mods right now. Right now I need to eliminate my broken/failed IMRCs, EGR, secondary air injection, and eliminate the DS O2s running no cats. The QandA states this can be done but apparently that's outdated info and they can no longer do that. So until I mod the car some more that requires a good tune (which I would get done on a dyno anyway), this is nothing more than a $400 IMRC delete box. Had I known they couldn't do that any more I would have opted for something different. So if you want to eliminate any emissions components, this will NOT do that without visiting an actual tuner. I really hate leaving negative reviews, but I feel like I was tricked into buying something that will not do what this site claims it can do.

Disappointed

The tuner looks good, but I have had nothing but trouble with it, for something you pay a lot of money you would think it would work great. I’ve had it for a while and still can’t tune my car, so now the wait for them to send another hopefully!!!!

Sct X4 review

Ordered strictly to bypass my PATS issue. Since I have a full bolt on Cobra, I took advantage of the free tunes for life. I was hesitant on canned tunes, but with the tune sheet and data logging...it really woke up my Cobra.

5 Top Rated Questions

Does this tuner help calibrate the speedometer on the 1998 Cobra after adding different that stock rear gears and larger wheels/tiers?

The Bama X4/SF4 Power Flash Tuner w/ 3 Custom Tunes requires a questionnaire to be filled out prior to programming the custom tunes, where rear gear ratio and tire size is requested, so it can be re-calibrated. The tuner itself has the function, however, it is disabled by the custom tunes.

Helpful (5)

i have a 97 cobra that has a v1 vortech supercharger and some other little touches, would this tune work for boost? and do i need anything else for a successful boost tune? and i live in kansas so where would i be able to get it tuned at

Bama cannot tune for aftermarket superchargers. We do not have recommended custom tuners in your location.

What is the difference between a bama x4 tuner and a sct x4 tuner or are they the something only the BAMA gives you upgrades for life? Would a dyne/tune shop who works w/ SCT be able to put their tune on BAMA tuner?

The only difference is Bama Performance would write custom tunes for your car on the SCT device. A dyno shop would be able to write tunes for either device.

Clarification on the speedometer being recalibrated on a 98. The tuner has the function but disabled in a custom tune? I have 4.10’s with 355/35/18 and O/R Xpipe with JLT CAI. Just need to know if this is the right tuner for me and if it will address the above concerns/upgrades. Thanks! 1 answer

The tuner does remain it's original functionality of being able to manipulate the speedometer. Bama can tune for this if you request them to, but you can alternatively just calibrate it yourself directly through the tuner. However, please make sure you do not do both, only one or the other.

Will this fix "the stall"? Had it happen twice now cruising off the highway with my 97 cobra. 1 answer

It's certainly possible. I would suggest contacting Bama directly to discuss your issue in detail so you can both determine if their tunes are right for your application! I will list their direct customer service line below: 1-888-226-9764

Will the Mustang retain the tune of the flash tuner is removed? Specifically asking due to the fact that when the vehicle needs to go in for emissions, they will have to remove the tuner to plug into the OBD2 port. We preformed a IMRC delete on a 96 Cobra, and are looking to tune it to the best performance range possible, while not looking to affect emissions testing. Thank you for your time. 1 answer

Hey Aaron, Once the tune is downloaded you can simply unplug the tuner and you're all set to go!

If i orders this for a 96 cobra can you supply a tune to make my dohc cobra sound like it is camming like the newer 5.0 mustangs? 1 answer

Unfortunately we will not be able to tune to make the DOHC Cobra sound like it is camming like the newer 5.0L Mustangs. Those tunes are only available for engines that have TIVCT (Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing) which the 1996 Cobras do not have.

Helpful (0)

Are these tuners capable of changing the on/off temp settings of the electric fans to work in conjuction with a lower temperature thermostat? 1 answer

These are changes we make in our Custom tunes to help ensure that the engine keeps it's cool in those hard driving and competition situations. This also means that your Mustang won;t have anything to worry about during the daily commute either. We can also accommodate a lower temp thermostat as well for those customers keeping an eye on their Mustang's cooling system.

Custom Bama Tunes specific to your vehicle. When you order a tuner, you aren't just getting a tuner - you are getting the tuner and 3 dyno-tested custom Bama tunes:

Street (87-93 octane) - The street tune is designed as a daily driver program that focuses on increasing mid-range power. Automatic vehicles are further enhanced by making adjustments to the transmission's shift points and firmness.

Performance (87-93 octane) - The Performance program is designed to add power at 3000 RPMs and higher, focusing more on the top end horsepower and all out performance driving. Timing, fuel and throttle response settings are slightly more aggressive than the street tune. This is a great track tune but also works well for daily drivers that are looking for a little more "get up and go" than the street tune. The automatic transmission settings are the same as in the street tune.

Race (91 - 93 octane) - The race tune will ensure the largest increase in vehicle performance. Using the highest grade of fuel available in your area is mandatory. This file is designed for "Race Use Only", as the timing, fuel, and throttle response settings are very aggressive. It is so aggressive that we do not recommend it for daily driving as it may cause your vehicle to try to jump out from a stop and easily spin the tires. On automatics, we implement entirely new shift points and firmness settings to further enhance the all-out performance of the vehicle.

Nitrous (91-unleaded race gas) - Our nitrous option can be added to any of our previously mentioned tune options, but only for 91-octane unleaded fuel.

**NOTE: Programming custom tunes may take 2-3 business days plus applicable shipping time. We recommend ordering other products separately to avoid delay. Some heavily modified cars are not tunable with a mail order tune. Click for details.
