The economy tune didn't do a damn thing so I deleted it from my programmer.

Another thing to keep in mind is if you travel, lots of places don't have all the different octanes available, so I got a handful to cover all of them.

Damn good fuel mileage. Looks like you averaged about 50 mph so that is why you're getting that 23 mpg as well. I will be averaging about 70-75 mph so my fuel mileage will be down. Stock, I'm averaging about 16.5 mpg right now.

Looks like all my research and questions have helped. I think I'm going to go with MPT tunes because you can truly customize the shift feel and I like that.

I think I might go with a 3 tune setup and do:
87 Tow w/ Street
91 Perf. w/ Street
87 Perf. w/ Chill (for my commute)

Change to Tow when I'm pulling my camper and change to 91 Perf. on the weekends or when I'm not commuting.

I've read the reviews on Unleashed and I'm curious if they can do the same customization of the shift points as I'm not wanting any aggressive shift points during my commute (sometimes is stop and go and I don't want to deal with that).

I think those are smart choices! Curious how different the "chill" and "street" feel to you! You will love the 91 perf street for sure!

The chill tames the shifting.

With no tune this is what I was getting mixed hwy/cty mostly hwy.




Pure hwy on a short trip I got this running a 91 performance/tow. I reset the lie o meter at 60mph and stayed at that speed, only stopped long enough to snap the pic and the counter was still going up, so it was actually .2 higher.

I was speaking from my experience with it. Top 4 tunes are 5*, bottom 2 are MPT.

Hmm...I wonder what the Tow/Chill would feel like? Might have to call MPT and ask them...

I thought they had descriptions on their site. Can't find them now.

Should be a link to the tune descriptions in the description of the product, whether it's the email tune or a tuner. Can also just click on the custom tune form link at the top of the page for tune descriptions.
