Everybody has their own opinions on tunes. I have never tried the performance tune, so I can't comment. I guess the difference between the race and tq tune would be to think one as February's playboy of the month and one as March's playboy of the month.

Ok, on to the tune. I ordered Bama's Racing tune for 91 Octane, C&L Racer intake, LTs, and 4.10s
Bama got it to me within 24 hrs or less from my order time. I was impressed with the speed of the order.
I just installed it and went out for a short test drive. So $120 into this tune and parts and...I dunno.
I definitly dont see what some guys are saying about a sensitive throttle. Seems about the same to me and as far as worrying so much about and having to start in second gear...? Seriously? I dont see that either.
The tune seems fine and the most noticeable thing so far is the idle is a little higher and the exhaust doesnt gas you out with a rich smell. Didnt see if it was blowing a lil smoke like before while it was running rich. But other than that....seems about the same as before.
Still has good power throughout the powerband and dont really notice a time where it really kicks in or really puts you in your seat. It sjust a consistant decent pull and it seems good through all rpms.
I guess with all the hype and such I was really expecting a lot more. I dont see a "night and day" difference as some said.
Perhaps I will notice more tomorrow (I hope cause right now I am feeling remorse for spending $120).
I will let you know if anything changes.

Well like I said, I didnt notice anything yte but to be fair it was a short drive and weather was not perfect. I am sure it will turn out to be better, so far at least it doesnt seem to run rich so if anything its worth knowing that is straightened out. Still rainy out here today so may take a few.
