That makes sense, and all of the tunes are following about the same line. What about the towing tune, is that like the 87 but with different parameters in the transmission strategy?

Could not tell you on that aspect we have not used the tow tune, but I'm sure its setup to focus on towing rather than making horsepower.

diablosport doesn't label the tune very well unfortunately. they don't even mention what octane its for, given the stated power figures are identical to the 87 tune i assume its the same octane. also what about tow/haul is this supposed to be used by a tow tune? or is it best to leave it off when using a tow tune.

what about towing with performance tunes?

A tow tune has limits to prevent over heating the engine, so lower sustained boost, etc. Tow tunes do not affect the use of Tow/Haul mode as that is mostly a transmission and cruise control strategy.

Using 'Corrected' on a boosted motor taints the numbers. Boosted motors create their own atmosphere.

Also curious why the baseline stopped at 4500; is that the redline for a stock engine?
I hear this argument all the time. We own a Dyno and the numbers always match up too within 3-5 hp when you use a hp calculator for track times and relate it to the "corrected" numbers. Not sure why but that's how it has been on every truck we have ran...

I see your a pro at this stuff and im just starting to mess with it all. I had a few questions about tuners and stuff. I just bought the diablo intune, the k&n CAI, and a MBRP catback. Ive noticed in some videos that's theres a CAI tune or is that an add on to all the tunes? When I input the 93 tune go ahead and select the CAI also? I assume? Also I don't plan on running the 93 tune I plan on using the 87's BUT I have to atleast try it, so run my truck to almost empty then put in some 93? I'm guessing you most likely know what the rwhp is stock if you could let me know what that is, and what you think if might be after all 3 of theses things are installed using the 93 tune...Thanks MAK one more thing do I still use the tow/haul when towing 8600lbs camper with the tow tune?

To run the 93 I would recommend Running tank full of 93 to it before switching over. to the 93 tune. There is a specific CAI tune, but I believe it is for 93 octane. It is not an add-on to all the tunes. Our truck dynoed at 307RWHP on our Mustang Dyno Stock. The after numbers should be in the 48xRWHP. The tow/haul you would still use so that the transmission functions as intended while towing, as well as switching to the towing tune.

I think I want one of these...What CAI would you recommend to go with it?

I'm running the Corsa DB catback.
