I just don't know how else to say it... I have gone back and forth between the 91 torque and 91 race, and besides the snappier throttle response of the race tune, the 91 torque feels stronger.
Let me expand a little on this, someone else said the race tune feels like the torque down low with more up top - I disagree. To me the top end of the torque feels just as strong as the race with a little added down low. Am I the only one that feels this way?

I posted this in another thread, but will reiterate as it is applicable...
I am running the race tune now and it is OK for everyday use- no problems in parking lots, garages, etc, and it does have some zipppp! Being new to tunes I guess I expected more... Don’t get me wrong, comparing no tune to a tune is insane, however, comparing different octanes/type tunes is not as dramatic. Generic scale of 1-10: No tune vs. tune = 8, 87 vs. 93 = 1.5, 93 tq vs. 93 race = 1. IMO a tune is a MUST, but if you’re expecting a great range with "tunes", and octanes, you’ll be disappointed. To be honest, so far for everyday use, I thought that the 87 performance tune was fine.
I'm still experimenting though and may change my opinion, but that's my preliminary evaluation thus far.

I posted "this" in another thread, but decided to repost as I started this threat. I finally loaded my 93 torque tune tonight. I found that the 93 race tune, that I've been running the past few weeks, pulled just as good as the torque. Not only does the 93 race pull just as hard, it continues to pull throughout... I don't know why anyone would run the 93 torque if you have the race available . I only wish that I had the 93 performance to compare with...
