Default Computer code?

BAMA tuning is asking on the form for the computer code of the car. They have a picture of where it is located on a 2011 5.0 but what I have is a 2010 V6. Does anyone know where it would be located? I found a sticker with UUH1 on it but wanting to make sure it is the right thing so I don't F up my engine. If anyone could be of help I'd appreciate it. I the UUH1 on the side of the fuse box on a sticker about half an inch long..the site shows it with a barcode and some other crap on it. Is this the same thing?

Whichever you get a tune for, can be any. To get the most from it, you of course would wish to do the highest octane tune, and put that grade fuel in your vehicle. You can go OVER the tune rating for pumped fuel, but you never want to go under. So if you run a 93 octane tune, only use 93 octane fuel.

Up to you, many try to balance everything out by doing mid-grade (91), and running the performance 91 tune. So you get a bit better response from the 87, but your not taking out a bank loan for gas money. In more than a few areas, 91 is as high as is offered fuel wise, so they have little choice.

They're listed in order of how much performance verses savings you wish to get from the tune:
Street = lower end tune, better milage, bit less umph.
Performance = mid tune
Race = watch your fuel gauge drop as you accelerate

Are you SC'd? Do you travel or have a chance of getting ONLY 87? If possible, I always recommend having an 87 custom tune on-hand. I've had at least 2 occurences where I could only get 87 octane in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the nite.

Get an 87 street, 89 performance, and a 93 race.
