Default what tune do you use?

I ordered a sct livewire the other day, i dont think it was necessary to get yet, but I figured it'd be a cool little toy to play with.

anyways, what tune do you guys use? i'm thinking about starting to put 91 or 93 octane so I would probably use one of those performance tunes.

all I have is a CAI now but I think within the next couple weeks im gonna convert to trual dual exhaust.

I have the SCT X Cal 2... not the live wire. Apparentley when you screw with the live wire you loose your stock tune...

Regardless, I have my shift pressure bumped way up 35?(helps alot with auto) whatever fuelI was usingI think 91 was best for my car, I jumped my WOT almost all the way upand dropped my idle to I think 600.

what is all the way up? how much % fuel rich is it?

i just got my livewire in last night so i'm about to start messing with the settings. haven't had a chance to really test drive the car though (stupid wet roads).

how was it after the tune? i'm leaning towards either a tuner or a new clutch for my next mod.

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to test it out yet. I got it last night and it's been raining on and off all day. I'll let you know tommorow hopefully.

oh i don't think i would let that stop me.

one of my friends was sayin i could probably get like a temporary tune to try it out so i think i'll call around town tomorrow and see if i can hook that up.

I have the SCT X3. I haven't done too much playing with it. My wife bought it for me when I bought the car last month.
