Tune recomendations for a daily driver

I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my Steeda Power Pack (Steeda's Cold Air Intake with High Flow Inlet Elbow and SCT Tuner) to my 05 Auto. The SCT is supposed to be preeloaded with Steeda's "custom" tunes for the CAI.

I'm locking for some advice her regarding the tune. Is the preloded Steeda tunes ok for a daily driver? I live in Sweden so the fuel here is 95 and 98 octane and I actually use my car all year around, even in the winter and snow (with Nokian Hackapelitan studles winter tyres on) so I do not want a tune that is to wild to be practical for daily driving.

I'm sure it will not be too crazy for daily driving. You will have plenty of time to get used to the tune before winter hits. Just be easy on the gas, should be no problem in the snow.

+1 You'll love the extra power but it will be managable.

Is the steeda tune for 93 Octane? If not, you may have an issue with your tune.

you should be able to run higher than 93 octane gas in a 93 octane tune... you just dont want to run less than 93 in a 93 tune...

That is actually why I started to look in to tunes in the first way. It makes no sense to run the car set for 87 oct. when the regular fuel in Sweden and most of Europe is 95 oct. Lots of unused potential there. And of course when I started to looking for a 93 oct tune I ended up whith a CAI and tune :-)
