Have had the 89 octane tune installed for a little over a month now. Zero problems and drives great.

No more than a couple drive cycles. Needs idle time, stop and go, highway. Best if you just drive like you plan to drive. Its not the end all be all.

doesn't take long, there is just a bit of adjusting that the "whole" system seems to go through. A flashy Ram will be no problem immediately.....on a track...naturally.

I want to thank everyone for the kind replies!

It's in the works, I just don't have a firm date yet.

Just got the 87 tune to start with. I have a half tank of gas left in the truck that is 93 octane. I know I can run the 87 octane tune with the 93 octane gas but should I just wait until I run it empty and fill up with 87 before running the tune for the first time? Probably doesn't matter but I just want to do it right from the start.

I think Rick said you can run a higher octane but not a lower octane then the tune you are running.

Yeah I know that's what I mentioned above. Just meant for first time to get real feel results since I will mainly be running 87 octane gas most of the time and not 93. Over thinking I am sure. Just curious how much the higher octane gas improves the 87 tune even more.
