anyone use all octane tunes?
so i have 87 tune and 93 and been on 87 for like 4 months now and want to try the 93. I've searched and found out that the biggest change is from stock 87 to custom 87 and the change between custom tunes is pretty subtle. My question is how is the 93 compared to 87 tune. I like the 87 but it is so touchy (I have automatic). If i switch to the 93 will more power be at higher rpm and less down low or will it still be as touchy as the 87? Also, which would be better for playing around on the street? I dont have freeways or nothing to be able to do like 90 mph or anything so like 70ish is really the best i can play with. (I dont want to be an idiot and hit someone and no more tickets for me)

yep, put 93 Octaine in her and run that out on the 87 tune.
Refill with 93 Octaine and load the 93 tune.
Start vehicle and enjoy...
p.s. 87 tune, is this a new thing?

Like already recommended, play with the tune and see what you like best. The throttle will still be touchy, comes with the territory of an auto and being tuned. I have 4.10's so either way off the line.. my auto will go. Learn to feather the throttle... and if you are stuck in stop n go traffic and afraid you will jump into someone's rear end.. throw the car into gear, 2nd, 3rd..

The throttle response is the same from the 93 to 87 tunes at least on my Brenspeed tunes, so the "touchiness" you feel will still be there. There is minimal power lost from the 93 to 87. I believe there is only a few degrees timing advanced between the two. I ran my 93 tune for a couple months before switching to the 87 tune. Really didn't notice any significant power loss. Maybe if you were bracket racing it you might see a slight difference, but I didn't on the street. Try it and see what you think and let us know.
