Default 4.10/tune thread..

about to get my gears installed in a month or so, I will also be getting a tune a well from Bama (race tune) I have snow tires on right now but I never do more then 50 even on the highway due to icy conditions. Should I use the snow tire ratios or should I just use the stock tire ratios? I know it might throw my speedo off with the new gears + bigger size of the snow tires but it should correct itself whenever I put my stock tires on right?

yeah, yeah I know.. get the snow tire ratios then change the tune when I put the stockers on lol..

I just feel lazy to tune and then re-tune. I know it's only a 15 mintue process to upload a new tune but still.

Honestly, I am just installing the gears so I have something to play with until I get a supercharger. Gears & exhaust cut outs... I may not be the fastest on the road but this way, at least I can give the impression of being the fastest. Who knows, I might install one of those 'turbo whistlers' into each cut out port lol.

oh yeah it's fast.. well, up til 100 or so.

more like 2 minutes to install a new tune, at least with an X3.
