Default Which Tune for me!?

Ready to get a Tune/C.A.I. package for my Mustang, I have an '07 V6 Pony pkg., Automatic. Living in Oregon, with some of the highest if not the highest gas prices in the country, thinking of staying with the 87 oct. tunes. Would a 93 oct tune improve gas mileage enough to offset the cost of gas? What should I ask for in the tune pkg.? I would like crisper throttle response and shifting, and better 0-60 times. Is it possible to get a tune to turn of traction control? Any advice or recomendations on kits, or specific tunes is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Here are two I have found, are they good deals?

http://www.bamachips.com/store/index...d8d8f6888e981b
this second link also comes with a GT takeoff muffler.

Thanks again for helping the NOOB! [8D] It was a lot easier modding my Jeep. LOL

I went with a 91 octane tune. I did the math and I'll only be spending about 5% more in gas or a little under $200 more per year on fuel costs. I did some research on 91 vs. 93 octane tune and it seemed to me that there was a negligable difference in power between the two. Plus I figure that 91 octane is more readily available.

I have the B A M A tune. I have the shift pressure set as follows:
1-2,3-4,4-5 +5% and 2-3 +10%
The automatic shifts very well now.

I just ordered the set up from VMP. They have been very responsive. They have data listed on their website about their setups. I ordered the tuner, CAI and muffler setup.
