    Bad Idea

    Since we're not racing again until January I decided to go back to the stock tune and save some $$$ on gas.
    Bummer........
    I guess that's a tribute to Diablo because I put the 89 octane gas in it, restored the origonal tune and was like W.T.F. the minute I stepped on the gas. I guess I got used to that bad-boy.
    Next tank of gas it's back to 93 octane and the Preditor tune for me

    Yeah, I stopped at a gas station and all they had was 87 octane..and I was too low to go to the next station. So, out came the Predator and on went the base tune. I guess it is a good time for me to upgrade my 8R14 build to a more current build for the tune. It sucks though...can't wait to get through this tank of gas and restore it back to the 93 Tune.

    That last time up there I had the r18 93 CAI tune in the Mag and was in the 13s despite the warmer temps. I'll stick with that one.

    AG - I did the same thing...dropped the tune, the hp, the tq when I was in a parking lot because it got cold and wet. The drive home felt like I was in wifey's Mountaineer..... :(

    As soon as the cam/headers are done, I have to put the tune back on. Thank goodness for the zoomers, at least it sounds good!
