I would be interested in knowing if you can tell any difference between the two tunes. They will most likely give you similar results. The shifting pattern may be a little different. Let us know if you can tell any difference.

I will for sure let you know, I wanted to see if I saw a mileage increase on a long trip so thats why I loaded that first. But I can tell you that the power is impressive. Put it this way I have 20" heavy tread and I was able to spoke them with no issue were before it was tuff. Once I get back I am going to try the perforamnce tune and I will let you know.

It's time for new tires! 305/40/20 will be great! I also would like to try 91 performance tune but this time with PHP.
