Oh great... Now we'll have another customer burning up the asphalt!

Just don't blame us for speeding tickets and bald tires.

I do have a quick question though...

I have spoke with Corey via e-mail a few times and as usual I am second guessing my order. lol (I do this a lot)

My truck ran like crap with the Evo on any setting due to the K&N 57-2556 CAI. I have since sent the unit in for upgrade and requested the following custom tunes;

87 Stock Tranny
87 Custom Tow
87 Custom Performance

My question is this... Does this mean that my truck will still run like crap if set on the 87 Stock Tranny mode? Or should I have upped it to a 87 Custom Tranny?

It's bad enough I get confused easy about this stuff, then I start thinking and it gets worse! LOLOL

Why don't you just leave the Level 1 tune alone and never use it? That's what I do with my Gryphon. I have two custom tunes and I never use the third tune, which is the canned 91+ octane tune. A transmission only tune made no sense to me so I had it changed to a Level 1 87 octane economy tune, for daily driving.

I should add that any tune you have should take into account that you have the CAI. A stock tune will not do this and yes, it may well run like crap on a stock tune.

Like Jack mentioned, there's no reason to pay for a tune you're not going to use. If you have a good reason to run a trans only tune, then it's worth it to get it updated to work with the CAI. If you have no plans to ever use it, just leave it alone and save the money.

The other option is to go with something like a 91 performance tune instead of the trans only. I mean if you're going to pay for it, get something useful.

Hope this helps.
