I guess that's an indication that it's time to do an update again, although I'm not real inclined to burn anything other than 87 octane in the winter months. Just takes too long to get up to operating temperatures or even just warmed up enough to roll out.
Has anyone made note of any changes with the tow tune?

vehicle specs
hi all,
just a quick q...when i plug my flashpaq in, does it automatically set the appropriate specs? for example, does it know from my vin# that i am driving a rubi with 4.10 gearing and 255x75 tires, or do I have to manually insert that info myself?
thanks,
mj

I finally got my 35's installed and set the tire size, then my Jeep had the sway bar light flashing, even off/on didn't fix it.
So I re-flashed the 87 octane and it fixed it.
Not sure if setting the tire size tweaked the wrong item in the flash. Maybe the proper procedure it to set the tire size and re-flash all the time.
Not a big deal, but curious...

I installed the SC for the first time Friday on the 93 octane setting and I'm impressed thus far particularly once the motor pulls past 3k rpms and my VTEC kicks in. 
All BS aside the 93 octane setting does make it come to life in the 3k to redline range.
I missed my first opportunity to dyno it but I would say this setting is an honest +15hp at the wheels.
The idiot gauge claims +1.5 mpg but SC tuners have a long history of screwing with these so until its hand calculated its too good to be true IMO.
