Finally going to see what a custom tune feels like.
I put my order in yesterday to American Muscle for an SCT Tuner.
I'm getting the 87 Street, 91 Street, and 91 Performance. I passed on the Race tune, since I don't plan on getting to a track or drag strip. Maybe I'll eventually get the Race tune, but I'll save that for later.
I want to start with the 87, but I know I'll end up with one of the 91's soon enough. Btw, they don't have 93 anywhere around here in SoCal.

Congrats man, I've been running a tune for a few months and can't believe I was ever stock
And you're right about the 93 octane, I've been in every SoCal county over the last couple months and I have yet to see a station with 93 octane

Put my Ford Racing CAI and SCT tune in today. So far so good, but I'm only running the 87 street tune for now. I was really nervous about all the downloading, and reprogramming, but got through it okay. I knew this would be a major screw up, if I did something wrong. The biggest difference that I could see (haven't driven much yet) was the different shift points when I really go on it. I'm guess this will be the best upgrade yet.
