Congrats and enjoy. I always recommend a spirited drive immediately before the install, then a spirited drive after insatalling the LOWEST octane tune followed by the same spirited drive with the next higher octane tune and so on. It gives you a feel for the characteristics of each tune and lets you better decide which tune suits your style of driving. The highest octane isn't always the best.

As far as any other adjustments, you shouldn't have to change anything. However, you may want to see how high they raised your rev limitier and adjust that to what makes you feel comfortable. The factory default on our 4.6L is 6250 PRM. Brenspeed raised mine to 6800 and I reset it to 6500 (although I still bounce off it on occasion).

yea i have set on 93 right now.. i love it.. but i dont hammer it everywhere i go i actually kinda drive it easy when im just going to run to do something or to work.. i know the tuner will learn and adapt to the driving conditions and stuff so i try to stay in it every so often to keep it alive lol... and yea my rev limits are at 6800 i changed it to 6400.. i still shift it at 6100-6200 from 1st- 2nd and like 6100from 2nd-3rd.. am i shifting to early? is the cars power band still climbing hard after that or does it drop off? cause i want to shift at peak power of course

and i got a question about the track and taking off.. when i road race i put my car at 1500 let the clutch out just to where its about to grab and then dump it and slam the gas thats the best take off i can do with out spinning to much and without bogging down.. now at the track i dont think i can do that cause my car will spin rediculously.. so any tips on how you guys launch at the track?? i know burnouts arent really neccessary with street tires they make them more greasy from what i hear

when I try to road race I can barely keep the tires from busting loose at 1500rpm but at the track I am able to launch at 3000rpm and barely spin at all. This is on normal stock tires and I just do about 2 small dry burnouts just to get the tires a bit sticky

Congrats, you will not beleive the difference.. Yup, all I did was plug it in and go, just followed the directions. Made one adjustment since I have had it, and Bama had my new tune in an email within 1.5 days... and they will bend over backwards to help you on the phone... Win, Win.
