Well I want MPT, but they only carry the Bullydog BDX. I'm holding out for them to.carry the SCT BDX. 87 PR-X, 87 tow and 91 PR-X.

Good choice on tunes. On the '12, I got 5, 5* tunes with the tuner. 2 of them were 89 Octane tunes. Waste of my money, I tried them, and just went all the way up to the 91 Performance and never went back. When I got the MPT, the 5* were never used again. Not saying they're bad tunes, but once I loaded the original 93 Race,it was all over.

I'm not sure where you stand on cornfuel, but you could run a 93 tune on it, just suggesting, and I don't want to start that debate again on your thread.
I'm not sure if there would be that much difference between the 91 and 93 anyway. I'm pretty sure you'll feel a very nice gforce on the 91.

Summers22, I’m running Oz tune and VMP. The tuning was just released maybe a month ago or so.

Thanks for that. Is it a huge difference over stock?

Yes. The OZ we are still tweaking a bit, but it’s a much more sports car feel. Faster throttle response, better shifting and a bump in power. The vmp tune I haven’t loaded yet.

Just not in a hurry to void my 125k powertrain warranty. I'm at 4,600 miles now.
