Exclamation I think doug gave me the wrong tune!

Im pretty new to this board but hang out on our local club board and the other huge mustang site i know doug hangs out around here once and a while so i figured i would ask this here. anyways about a month ago i order a 91 tune from doug to go along with my racer intake. well i didnt notice it before but tonight i notice the name of the file was TJF1AARON93RACE I think doug gave me a 93 tune and i have been runnin 91 ever since. you think any damage has been done? what should i do about this?

thanks in advance for any advice
aaron

I think step one would be to contact HIM to get the issue resolved, not the message board.
Bamachips isn't a fly-by-night operation from everything I've heard on here, so they should be more than willing to answer your questions and get you set up the way you like if you're unhappy.

So tell me, what did Doug say again?

Buy no, I doubt any damage was done. Did you hear any knocking in your motor?

Did you specify exactly what octane tunes you wanted when you ordered it? I have a feeling you probably got 91 torq, 91 perf and 93 race, but who knows. Did you look at the other tunes you have (there is always more than one on the programmer) to see exactly what you got?

I would have been more appropriate to contact Doug directly. That being said if you didnt hear your motor knocking you are fine. Knocking sounds like rattling in your engine

sorry about posting in the wrong section i usually dont do that. i just noticed this late last night. i recently bought a sct2 tuner from a friend and ordered a single 91 race tune cause utah doesnt have 93. i havent really noticed any "pinging" but its hard to hear over my exhaust, i do notice more noise from the engine though. thanks for the advice guys, i guess ill just take it easy on it til he gets back to me.

Sorry, did not intend to be harsh. But if you wear your heart on your sleeve on online forums you're destined for a Prozac prescription.

you did the right thing by posting your concerns.... if you have a question, then ask. if you're not happy, then say that also... its your car and this is a car forum, hoprfully he gets to you soon.

You did the right thing by coming on here and ASKING A QUESTION. There are too many people that stir up $hit on here when people just ask for the opinion of others. It's not like u came in here and slammed Doug or Bama. You asked a simple question due to a concern you had.

I would expect u to get kicked in the sac for slamming someone, but IMO you did the right thing. Doug is sooo good at what he does, but he is also hard to get ahold of at times. Calling him/emailing him is the right move to make, but for piece of mind, plz dont hesitate to come back and ask q's again.
