Recently had dealer replace cac, came back with new stratagy, I know the old 5* tunes will not work, will the canned tunes work and are they worth loading? Off subject, can I use the 3015 to scan another vehicle(wife's Mazda6 w/Ford 6 cyl. cel light came on)?

I only got on it HARD once - We were doing almost 15 mph, stomped on the gas, the truck QUICKLY downshifted back into 1st and absolutely DESTROYED the tires. So I let off the gas and the truck gently shifted back into 2nd, then 3rd and so on....was GREAT! So for now, I'm (cautiously) ECSTATIC!
My revised 5* is the same.

Tried the canned 91 tune. Not bad. Didn't have the customs yet. Mike got me the customs super fast. Loaded up the 87 econo and I think it's still using the 91 canned. Came out of my daughters daycare parking lot and broke loose! Barely touched the throttle! Do the tunes not always take?

I would honestly say that the custom 87 has more power than a canned 91. I would say the tune took. For me going from custom to canned on the same octane it feels like I went all the way back to stock.

Yea I never tried none of the can tunes. I just went straight to 87 perf custome tune. Now I always drive around with 93 performance custome
