Great thanks. Ive wanted to get into forscan but now I am wondering about the tuner and the use of forscan. Obviously I can use both but is there any difference in protocols? Like if I wanted to use forscan I would assume I need to go back to stock first and save everything stock in forscan? Then do I need to manipulate my computer with forscan with the tune on it, or do I change stock settings first and they would transfer to tune?

My understanding is that tuners and FORScan modify different modules that do not overlap. For the speedo change I believe they are each changing it in different places so I assume you'd only want to do it on one or the other.

So for your daily drive, which tune do you like the best? And Why? I don't plan on going any higher than 89 octane on my 5.0.

I liked the 93 Perf/two but am now on 89 perf/tow because it is costing me 110 to fill up where I live on premium. I do not notice a huge difference but the key is to drive around stock with it before going down a tune. Stock feels horrible compared to tune.
