Bama tuner/which octane rating?
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.

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.

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.

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.
