First Time SHO Owner - Stage 1 tuner question

[paul bamford]

Just bought a 2015 SHO with 401a package two days ago. Already fast, but I feel like it could use a little more, really considering stage 1 from LM.

First question: Which tuner is the easiest to work with for switching back and forth between setups? If you want to go up to 93 tune but then go back to 87 for a road trip. Then flash to stock for a dealership visit.

Next question: Switching fuels and tunes, could that hurt the car over time? Should you stick with one setup for a while?

Thanks I'm sure most questions will come over time; just getting started but want to take my time and do it right.

LMS is a basic tuner and you can switch the tune in about 3 min. Have not seen or read anything about the tune or fuel swap being a problem, but once you put in the 93 tune you will most likely never need the 87 tune I do drop mine back to the 91 for the winter tho.
with the 91 or the 93 these cars are a whole new level of fun to drive!

and welcome to the 4m.

Once tuned, you can go UP in octane but not down. Tuning slims the "pig rich"-ness of OEM programming of fuel trims. Less rich, less margin for error. So stick with the octane the tune was designed for, or better.
