So I ordered a airaid race cai and have to send in my desired tunes. Basically my Mustang is a DD, very very rarely go to track(may go once just to see). I'm running 93 tune stock now and it's pretty good.
I'm thinking 87 performance in case I need to go back down. 93 race and 93 performance. I heard 93 race is more power 4k rpm an up an performance pulls a little harder in lower rpms.
Basically I want my car to just tear it up around town, not worried about track times. My biggest thrill is 0-60 and throw you back in your seat speed. What do you guys recommend for giving me those results? I thanks

Just do 93 Race, the other two hold back.
If extra tunes are included, keep an 89 on the device in case someone messes up and puts the wrong octane in there.

I run the 93 race all the time also but if I am going on a trip of more that 100 miles or so I install the performance tune. Thats why I suggested doing that. I wouldn't change it for a short trip just because I was getting on the highway.

Just ordered what I stated in the OP. I absolutely cannot wait!! I'll start with the 93 race though. But if I'm gonna be paying the premium gas, it seems smart to just go for the race and go all out.

4.10 gears are a great mod too but you definitely have to take that to a pro.
