Just installed 93 oct base tune, car need to re-learn?
I just upgraded from 87 tune to the 93 oct tune on my otherwise stock 06 Mustang GT. I really didint notice a difference in power. Does the ecu need to learn new parameters? I had a Subaru WRX STi I installed new software in to its ecu and it took a good 3 days of ecu learning before the car was noticeably faster.

im going to ask a dumb question, i just want to be sure...............your car does have a full tank of premium gas, correct?
im a n0ob with this stuff, so i couldn't give u an exact answer. do you feel any difference in the way the car runs?

Yeah, I ran it down to 18 miles left of 87 0ct in it, filled it to the brim with 93 oct, swapped in the 93 oct map, and ran it 5 miles to get the 93 oct in to it. It didnt knock or anything at all. It just didnt feel any faster.

I was told to do a 93 tune first and not to do a 87tune and then upgrade. I believe so you can see the 'big" diffrence at once. The diffrence between the 2 might be more in times and numbers and not SOP. My guess and why I'm STILL waiting to put my tune in. Had a full tank when I got the SCT and with the rain and being busy, blah,, blah,,, busy, busy... stuck here at work [:@]

I was running the 87 oct tune, which, btw, didnt seem that much over the stock tune.

What you need to put in is a CAI and then a tune... then you will truly notice a different... it's like night and day. Getting a tuner just to put in a 93 tune and nothing else... sorta a waste of money, IMHO...

Where did you get this tune? Is it w/ a Predator or SCT? Are you Auto or manual? Do you have a CAI?
These may be important

Yeah, I'd suggest getting a CAI and tune from someone like Brenspeed. He could E.mail you his tune since you already have the SCT. You should notice a difference immediately! Most people w/ the C&L love it. I know it really woke up my car.
