Just ordered my tune from Brenspeed a couple hours ago, now the waiting begins lol...

What's the process though? I was expecting to fill out an online form about my car, but they just took my money and sent me a receipt lol. Are they going to e-mail me later asking all the info?

well when I ordered mine from AM, I had to supply my pcm number, along with my current mods, and which tunes I preferred. I imagine brenspeed will do the same via email

Yeah, you should get a follow up email within a day that asks you for all of the information you'll need for the tune. The one bit that may be hard to find is the RPM (revolutions per minute) for your tire. I found that information using google. I had to wait about 2 weeks from the time I paid until the day my tune arrived. It was like a kid waiting for Christmas!

Update: After living with the Brenspeed tunes for the past 6 weeks, I've settled into the 89 as my daily driver. The 92 is an absolute blast to drive and completely changes the personality of the car. However, it needs a heavy foot to do its best. The power band seems weighted for 3000 rpms and above. I found myself burning gas like I had a tanker in the backyard. The 89 performs happily at mid-revs, which is where I live most of the time. I'll use this tune as my DD, pocket the 20 cents a gallon diff. from premium grade, and maybe drive within the speed limits for a change. I'll load up the 92 when I'm in the mood for fun.

It goes without saying that there's no way in the world I could go back to stock now. It's that big of a change.

BTW, anyone know how Brenspeed's 89 compares with AM/Bama's 89 torque tune? I'm wondering if the AM tune might be even better on the hills, passing, and mid-range cruising that makes up my regular commuting life.

I have mentioned in many-a-post that I keep my Brenspeed 89 tune loaded 99.9% of the time for the exact reasons you mentioned. Thanks for the sanity check (crap, that means I'm not insane? Don't tell my co-workers...).
