Truthfully I finally got mine 2 months ago and can tell the difference.

Run the 91 Race tune on my DD. I get around 16-18MPG city, 29-31MPG Highway. Best tune. If you don't want to use 91, use the Street tune, the performance tune is crap IMO.

Always use the highest octane you have in your area, the difference per tank is very little, about one fancy coffee.

Anyone running the SCT 91 octane performance tune? I'm waiting on motorvationefi to finish my custom tune & the SCT "canned" tune is ok to me, I can feel more torque.

Been using the street tune last few days. Not as strong as the performance, obviously, but I can still tell the difference from stock. I'm ordering the hybrid today. I'm hoping it's a good mix between the two because there are parts of both I like a lot. Will update after I put it in and run a while. On another note, I noticed better gas mileage as long as I keep my foot out of it.

Are you all not the least bit worried about not having a factory warranty? I would love to tune my car but at 8000 miles on a '14 it freaks me out.

BAMA updates various aspects of their tunes as they learn to make them more effective.

Coincidentally, they've just released new updates, although I haven't been able to complete the order yet since I'm not home to retrieve the calibration ID. Their order sheet is much more detailed than it used to be. I've seen some feedback over the past few days on another forum post where throttle response and power band might be improved - although all subjective evaluations so far, nothing from a dyno.

** EDIT **
Hmmm...belay my last. A thread on a third forum now indicates that the updates are only for the 5.0 tunes. BAMA is like the Freemasons with their secrecy.

Not worried about using tunes and I have the extended warranty. If they want, they can only deny anything affected by the tune, generally the computer, otherwise they have to honor it.
Benn using the Hybrid tune last week or so and I'm pretty happy with it for my driving style. You don't hear the CAI as much, until you stomp on it. I feel it has a better, more linear acceleration from a stop than the Street did, not as mushy. The one thing I did notice, and I don't know if it's the tune or my foot, but I don't get as good gas mileage as I did with the other two. Only talking 1mpg or so, but still less.
