Or, just spend the money, get dyno-tuned, and you don't have to listen to everybody's opinion

RE: Houston Discussion Thread
The problem with the custom dyno tune is that it will be tuned on one kind of gas, and I dont want to run 93 all the time, especially now gas is like $500 bucks a gallon.
If I don't like the tune I can always order them seperatly or just have Richard dyno tune it (which I may at some point).
I think I will be able to get some LCA's and sways too..

I'm running on the 93 tune, and have been since day one. Think about it for a few minutes.
The difference between a gallon of 87 and 93 on average is about $0.20 a gallon.
You average from dead empty about 16 gallons a fill-up. You are talking about an extra $3.20 per fill-up.
If you fill up on average once a week, you are still talking less than $13 a month extra for the better gas and power.
You have to put it in perspective. The numbers just seem scary.

check with "TheDarkPath" he's used both

And for the person looking to have Strictly Performance install their gears...good luck. After 6 months and 5 vists dealing with them, mine still whine and I've given up. They were really deceitful and acted like I was stupid hoping I'd believe their lies and excuses. Worst customer service I've ever experienced. I hope you have better luck with them or choose a different shop.
