The flash tunes actually do work

[Russ Lynas]

I had my ST programmed for premium fuel using 93 octane. I Knew I needed to be ready for a dealer visit so filled up with 87 and loaded the stock tune. Folks, I don't know how my ST gets out of its own way with that tune. As soon as possible, I am going back to the performance tune using 93 Octane. It ran better, shifted better, and guess what.......it got better gas mileage. 2 mpg city better. 1.5 mpg highway better. The down side, 93 is going way up in price. Might need a special tune to run 91 octane. The Stock tune is so bad, I immediately put it on the 87 performance tune just have a short drive in stock mode. I'll just keep the flasher in the car in case the dealer calls for my expected service.

I know what you mean. My '04 with the 93 performance tune is great compared to 87 stock or 87 performance.

By flash tunes, do you mean that SCT Xcal tuner thing? I'm a bit:wacko: so bear with me.

 

[EddieS'04]

Greg, yes.

Thanks, Fast Eddie. All of you MYST members are great.

Yes Russ is a customer of mine who I believe was skeptical on the onset of my skill at building custom calibrations for the ST. It appears now that's no longer the case.
