So has anyone adjusted these settings and noticed any difference in performance? I should add, without damaging your engine. I just had my SCT X3 out today loading a 87 Brenspeed Tune for a road trip and was wondering the same....

I would highly recommend not adjusting most of those parameters, other than revs per mile and gear ratio. The tune itself is set at the best recommended settings for your vehicle.

Never adjust any paremeters unless your on a dyno and running air fuel gauges......good way to murder your engine

So since I have these tires on the front:
255/45R18
10.039" WIDE
27.035" TALL
84.934" ROUND
746 REVS / MILE

and these on the back:
275/40R18
10.826" WIDE
26.661" TALL
83.759" ROUND
756 REVS / MILE

What should my revs/mile be? Like maybe split the difference so like 751?

Yes I have adjusted some of my parameters, and I have not blown up my engine.
I can't recall all the changes I made, but I do remember retarding the low end timing a bit, which did perk it up a bit, and richening the WOT a little.

No go to the manufacturers web site and find the rev's for the model and size of the rear tires, then enter that number into your tuner.
