which tune is the best for overall everyday driving performance

I want to add alot more horsepower, but also want it to be a good daily driver
theres a Performance tune for 93 octane, a Torq Tune for 93 octane, and a Race Tune for 93 octane. How much HP increase would I see from each?

I have purchased two tunes and one was free because I wasn't satisfied with the performance. The best tunes you can get is brenspeed. Good luck with your choice. I run the 91 tune with 93 gas now and if it ever gets cooler again I'll go to the 93 tune with 93 octane for the best performance. I'm hindered with the 91 tune now because of donation being that it is still toowarm ofweather with that much timing doesn't mix in my stang. Yours could be different.

A performance tune for 93 is a good tune for DD. I have it and get good MPG.

It looks like you're talking about doug's tunes. So, a torque tune would probably be best for your daily driver. Performance for all around driving, and probably race tune for the track. Just a tune won't be ablr to add a lot more hp. by itself. You'll feel the improved throttle response.

I'm having the tune made for BBK CAI, JBA Shorty Headers, JBA H Pipe, and SLP Loudmouths.

Its a bammachips tune btw.

how do you like your exhaust setup dennis?


also i've found the performance best for me in MPG, some would say the race tune, but the race tune wants to go anytime you push the pedal
the performance tune has a lower idle speed than my torque and my race tune.

right now the SLP's are great, they sound a little wierd at 50-60mph then once you hit 65 it goes back to its mean sound.

I want to deepen it more with the H pipe (right now Im using a Y- Pipe dual conversion), and JBA Shorty headers.

I'm looking for the ultimate everyday tune.
