I've got both VMP and Bama loaded onto my Xcal2
VMP-- 89 perf, 91 perf
Bama-- 91 torque

The Bama kicks ***, noticeable more amounts of launch and pull over the VMP...But don't get me wrong, VMP has good tunes, and Justin's customer service is excellent.

A lot of people say the race tune is "too much for DD". However, people are handling 400hp+ on the streets as daily driver, so the race tune is definitely not even coming touching the limits of "not streetable".

Race tune is great for a DD. I ran it for a long time and was really happy. Go for it. The only reason why you should get multiple tunes is if for some reason you need a lower octane at some times and not the others.

edit: I just re-read your post and you already have Brenspeed tunes? I would just stick with those. You are really unlikely to pick up much between the tunes. Maybe buy Bama tunes later on when you get more mods, and you need a new tune anyways.

I haven't even tried my torque tune, I loaded the race tune and left it. It works great as my DD, I don't see why it wouldn't.

Race is a better all around performer. For passing power and not hitting the throttle hard(below 3k rpms) the torque is plenty. If you like hitting the throttle harder, I suggest the race tune. Race tune isbetter up top,but a little bit (not really noticable) less power down low.
