I just ordered an SCT Bama tuner from AM and it's asking me to choose my octane ratings for the street, performance, and race tunes.
My options are:
87/89 Octane, 91 Octane, 93 Octane
I always use 93 in my Mach 1 so I guess I should choose 93 for all of them, correct? I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right.
Thanks!

For my tunes I asked for a 87-Street tune (even though I never use anything but 93, you never know what the future holds), a 93-Performance, and a 93-hybrid tune, which is what I'm running. Didn't even try the others. The hybrid, as it's been explained to me by people on the forums, is supposed to combine low-end torque with high-end HP.
I like it.

Well the gauges say "Premium Only", so I doubt I'll ever put anything but 91 or 93 in. I don't know much about hybrid tunes. I think the hybrid tunes are for newer mustangs. I may be wrong, but I'm just getting the 3 normal tunes.

Skylar

I picked 93 for all three tunes. It's all I use and I'll probably keep it on the race tune anyway.

I guess you aren't worried about traveling and getting close to running out of gas where they sell gas only 89/91. Better safe than having to put the wrong gas in for your tune.

Skylar

I don't travel anywhere more than 40 miles from my house in the Mach 1 anyway, and every gas station around me has 93.

I run 87 street
91 race
& 93 hybrid
but I always keep my hybrid tune on everywhere & use 93

Skylar

The hybrid tune is only for '05+ models, isn't it?

SilverSkoundrel

I think so :\

Yeah, you can choose what ever octane you'd like. In my 2004 Mach1 and my 2012 GT I run 93 Only! This is the best for the car anyway and allows us to run the most aggressive timing we can safely deliver.

I hope this helps! Enjoy your tune, please let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance in the near future. Our Bama Performance tuning specialists are here in the building Monday-Friday from 9AM-5:30PM EST and Saturday 9AM-5:30PM EST. You can hit them up directly at 888.226.9764 and they'll get you squared away!

My SCT/Bama tunes are all set for 93 octane.

Skylar

Thanks for the info. Are there any plans on creating a hybrid tune for models before '05?

Skylar

I got an email saying the tuner was shipped, but it's blank under "items in your shipment".

Happened to me about a month ago. It's a glitch in their system. It will update and eventually say it shipped what u ordered.

Skylar

I can track it now, so that makes me feel better.

You're just tracking an empty box
