Default Which tune would be best for me?

I am probably getting a B A M A tune by January and would like some people's input on which one to get. Traction is not a problem.These are the mods I will have installed when I'm getting the tune and where they make most of their power: (low end= 0-50, high end=50-100)
Low End:
4.10's ,
High End:
JBA Duals with h/pipe and JBAShorty headers, WMS high velocity air intake system(ram air),
Both:
Aluminum Driveshaft, UDP,

Looking at this, I'm thinking I need more low end(torque tune), but I may be wrong and need high end(performance tune). Or help with both(race tune). Any ideas and/or explanations?

Ok, I jump in here. What do you mean by 0-50 or 50-100? P

Just get the 87 perf along with high octane torq & race tune. that should give you a nice variety.

Should have specified 0-50mph and 50-100mph. I will be running 93 octane too.

"Need" is a subjective word. Since you say traction is not a problem and you're running 4:11's I'll assume this will be primarily a tune you want optimizied for track or track like conditions. The next question would be what type of track performance - 1/8 mi 1/4 mi, autocross do you need to tune for? The set up ypu layout is pretty well balanced out so I would discuss your wants/needs with your tuner of choice, they determine you'd be happier with a custome tune.

Going to order a tune soon from B A M A or Brenspeed, and would like to know how the process works. I have an sct 2 and lost or threw out the tune uploader so I'd have to ship away my xcal 2 and have them throw on thetune and then ship it back.How much do u think that would cost?and how long would it take? I'm still not sure which tune to do(I no brenspeed only has octane tunes right?) if I go B A M A,it's going to be 93 octane though, I'm thinking race tune.

You should call each vendor directly to find out how much they will charge to load tunes onto your SCT. You can also ask them for their recommendations regarding tune choices. That would be the easiest way to get your answers.
