Bama 93 Race Tune

[Baz]

So I just filled up on some 93 and feel like testing out BAMA's 93 race tune, anyone here run that? I heard it isn't recommended for daily drivers but want to see the difference while gas prices are somewhat "stable". I run the 89 Performance right now.

Also before I load the tune, had under a quarter tank of 89 when I put the 93 in would that cause a problem or everything should be fine? Don't want to blow the engine.:smash:

you're really supposed to run the tank to almost empty before changing octane types. You could probably put octane booster in to correct it. Not sure how much you should put in though.

I run the Bama race tune both on the track and on the street. On the track it's awesome, about 2/10 difference in the 1/8th mile. On the street, it's fun but I have an auto so it shifts at awkward points. I really like it on the highway though. I don't run it daily though, too jerky.

I have run it (93R) on my 12 V6 6MT, so I can't attest to the shift points on the auto. It isn't horrible on the street but it is a little jerky. I just run the 93p tune for a daily. I believe that BAMA actually recommends running a tank of 93 before switching between tunes, but I have just run it to E on 87 and then just switched to 93 and the 93 tune and had no problems.

TruMac is right you should fill up a tank of 93 before you switch tunes. Also the 93 this good for DD so you really shouldnt have much troubles with it, besides might as well have as much fun in your Mustang as you can and the 93 is the most fun to play with

Yea I always fill up twice before changing the tune, just a little impatient this time around But thanks for the input, just want to make sure it isn't too agressive.

the 93 octane performance tune is great for daily driving, just the race one might be a little harsh for daily.

i only change the octane rating on my mach 1 (from 91-93). I ran the race tune for a while but really didnt feel a difference. Only reason i changed it back was because unless you have a A/F ratio gauge theres no way to tell if the car is running lean or rich.

Just want to see how it feels, doubt I would leave it on, I'd probably switch to the Performance tune after testing the Race. I'll probably load it for Cruise for a Cure.

Yeah I loaded it and left it on for like a week then went to the P. I'll probably switch to it every so often.
