Default stupid tune question

when tuning your car with a tuner such as diablo or sct can i have a race tune and a daily driver (stock) tune and switch back and forth? fo example use the stock tuner for driving to and from work and the race tune on the weekends? how many tunes does a tuner hold? is it easy to switch back and forth between tunes? if even possible.
thanks

It's easy to switch back and forth, just be mindful of the fuel grades you use and what's in your gas tank. For instance, if you have 87 in your tank and slap a 93 performance tune, your car will be really sluggish, but you can instantly swap back to an 87 performance and get the performance gain, just not as big as the 93 would be.

I think the average is 3... I've been trying to figure out if it's 3+stock or if it's 2+stock. Might wanna just call the maker/seller of the tuner you're thinking of to get that confirmed.

Both bama and brenspeed are great for tunes (though I've heard bren is a little better with customer service...) I haven't heard ANYTHING bad with either tunes, with the exception of:

Monsterous engine power.

Other symptoms may inclued:
Increased urge to floor it.
Very strong throttle response.

No idea. That's where the other members of this forum who ACTUALLY OWN THE ITEM IN QUESTION chime in. *Hint hint*
