Has anyone tried the 89 torque tune from Bama? If so, how does it compare to the others? We only have 87, 89, 93 here.

Thanks

Those are my 3 Brenspeed tunes. I run the 89 about 90% of the time. IMO, my 89 pulls harder in the lower RPM bands whereas the 93 pulls harder up top. My 89 feels better for "normal" driving.

I have the 91 torque, you'll love it. His tunes ROCK! Be prepared for neck-snapping shifts.

do you have quarter times for the two or dyno pulls?

because im basically deciding if i want the 93 or 89 myself...

I used to run Doug's 89 tq tune, but now I switch between the 91 tq and race tune. From what I can recall, the 89 tune is not a bad tune, but the 91 tunes pull harder throughout the entire RPM range.

i don't see why a lower octane would be better than a higher one? if they're both bama tq tunes.. why would there be a difference in RPM pulls? shouldn't both have more of a pull in low RPMs?

I want to go 91, but I haven't seen that grade of gas here.

Sorry, no. It's purely a seat-of-the-pants dyno. The differences between tunes are usually rather subtle so I wouldn't get your panties twisted over it. If you're going to the track or autoX, then definately run the higher octane tune.

According to Doug there is about a 3-5 hp difference between each octane tune, so a 91 tune will yield about 3-5 more hp than an 89 tune.

Well I went ahead and ordered the SCT 3 from Bama with 87 performance, 89 torque, and 93 performance tunes. Needless to say I can't wait until it arrives. Thank you all for the great information.
