Default How do tunes work?

Is it good to go back b/w them. Like say a 87 performance to 93 performance and vice versa. (depending on gas prices for me at least) is the good for the engine??
And If we get three tunes can they run at the same time say a 93 performance and 93 Torque????? or does it have to be set to one thing at a time>????

um where to begin
goin back and fourth between then is not a bad thing depending on how much of what kind of gas you have in the tank
you can run all tunes on 93 octane they wont run as well as the should but you dont risk detonation
you can only run 87 tunes with 87 if you run a 93 tune on 87 you run the risk of detonation
my reccomendation is run it on stock/87performance with 87 untill the tank is almost empty
when your gas neidle is on E then fill it up with 93 and tune it at the gas station
and you can only run one tune at a time
each tune is designed to hit a different aspect of the engines performance
the best tune you can get is the 93 race tune
