Bama Tunes

It's true the race tune does feel better thant the tq tune, but comparing the two tune both times at the 1/8 mile track, the tq tune resulted in better times by .2 sec.

Hmm, interesting. I took my car to the track for the first time about a month ago, but I didn't bring my X3, so I couldn't change my tune. I'm running the 93 race tune, but have the 93 Torque and the 93 Perf tune from Doug as well. Next trip to the track I'll have to try the different tunes. Plus that'll force me to let the car cool down a little more between runs.

I've tried the torque tune now on my 07 Auto and the 09 Manual and I just don't care for it. It is not a BAD tune and I still like it better than the Brenspeed tune which I've also tried on both cars.... BUT, I feel the Race tune is the best one.

3 of the wins were against an '07 GT manual, predator tune and pypes MM.
1st night
Race tune:
R/T .249
60' 2.262
330' 6.097
1/8 9.225

1000' 11.922
1/4 14.228
mph 97.33

RACE TUNE WINS
Second test sorry, did not load the race tune - torque tune only. Temperature was cooler than the previous test night by 10 degrees.
r/t .295
60' 2.350
330 6.123
1/8 9.240
mph 78.86
1000 11.927
1/4 14.224
mph 97.69
2nd run
r/t .203
60' 2.345
330' 6.169
1/8 9.292
mph 78.82
1000 11.983
1/4 14.284
mph 97.60
The race tune was quicker. The race beat the torque in the 1320 by 0.14 that night. A little over a tenth..that's 1 car length.
The second night..comparing the torque vs the race (from the 1st night) the torque had a faster ET and mph, but still slower in the 60' and 330. I think if I would've loaded the race tune on the second night..it would've beat the torque. It was at least 10 degrees cooler the 2nd night.
