Default Tune question

I have a 93 race and a 93 street tune from AM on my 10 GT500. What are the differences bt the race and street tunes? Is the race tune more aggressive? If so in what way? Thanx

My guess is the race tune has more timing, thus a little more power. It will also most likely have more throttle response.

You can call them and ask if you wanted to know ASAP.

As for what is different on the tunes, the Race tune will be different from the street in that the street is more TQ down low, but gives up a little power up top, in the higher RPMS.


The Race tune is a completely different animal and will get you power in all RPM ranges!

More agressive ignition timing and different shift points.

From http://www.americanmuscle.com/x3-cus...er-0510v6.html
Street (87-93 octane) - The street tune is designed as a daily driver program that focuses on increasing mid-range power. Automatic vehicles are further enhanced by making adjustments to the transmission's shift points and firmness.

Performance (87-93 octane) - The Performance program is designed to add power at 3000 RPMs and higher, focusing more on the top end horsepower and all out performance driving. Timing, fuel and throttle response settings are slightly more aggressive than the street tune. This is a great track tune but also works well for daily drivers that are looking for a little more "get up and go" than the street tune. The automatic transmission settings are the same as in the street tune.

Race (91 - 93 octane) - The race tune will ensure the largest increase in vehicle performance. Using the highest grade of fuel available in your area is mandatory. This file is designed for "Race Use Only", as the timing, fuel, and throttle response settings are very aggressive. It is so aggressive that we do not recommend it for daily driving as it may cause your vehicle to try to jump out from a stop and easily spin the tires. On automatics, we implement entirely new shift points and firmness settings to further enhance the all-out performance of the vehicle.


When i bought mine, i was asked to fill out a form (http://bama.americanmuscle.com/custom.php) about my ride. Included the computer type (quick look under the hood) and what mods i have/am installing along with the tuner.

Stuff showed up quick and went in easy. works well.
