Yeah the Sunoco here in Canada has 94, they are the only ones that I know of that have it.

Impressions so far on the 87 Perf tune.

1) better accel
2) firmer shifts
3) it seems to hold each gear a little longer before shifting under hard accel or WOT.
4) gets up to 120kph faster
5) once up to cruising speed I hardly have to give it any throttle to maintain speed.
6) better passing power

Will try the 94 tune next weekend when my vacation starts and I have plenty of time to play.

Overall...Mike..AWESOME job dude...thanks.

wow, 93 tonight was $4.13 here... it's getting near to me going back to 87 perf tune.. about .28 a gallon difference..

As far as any hard shifting, keep in mind that the tuning you got is adaptive strategy and will more than likely become more civilzed.. lol... as you drive, put miles on.. Mine did just that.. It was almost impossible to not break the tires loose from a stop, even on 2-3 sometimes, for the first couple hundred miles. I can still do that if I want, but I have to want it now.. LOL

Other than that, you're gonna freakin' love Troyer's tuning...

I always tell everyone that it's worth the wait, I hope you're feeling the same!

Yeah I'm kinda thinking I will. I really only notice it when I'm paying attention to it.

Overall, tuning is amazing, truck drives great.

I love the tunes, I find I'm making excuses just so I have to drive it somewhere.
I prefer the firmer shifts, before it was so soft you couldn't feel the shift and they seemed lazy.

Yeah, I like how my truck doesn't seem to "slow down" when it shifts now.
