Default Help me pick my 3 Bama tunes

I have an 08 Mustang GT, 5-speed manual, Flowmaster A/T, and nothing else.

I have 93 octane everywhere I go. I live in Middle Tennessee. My daily drive to work is about 6 miles in town 21 miles on the interstate. I drive lots of fun backroads (with twisties).

I've read all the raves about the Bama 93 race tune, but when ordering the CAI tuner kit, you have to pick 3. Generally speaking, I want lots of fun, but I've also read lots of posts about the 93 race tune being very touchy on the throttle.

I've pretty much decided that I want a 93 Torque and a 93 Race tune, but I can't decide what the other one should be. 87 Torque, 87 Performance, 89 Torque or 89 Performance?

Help me decide please.

I suggest one tune be an 87.... ANY 87. I travel often with the Stang and HAVE had situations where all I could tank up with was 87.

Just leaving my options open if gas prices go crazy, or if I'm traveling and can't get 93.

One 87 tune then the other two should be the 91 TQ and 91 Race. IMO.

I have 93 gas available. Are you saying that the 91 tunes would be prefered over the 93 tunes even with 93 octane available?
