RWTD sent me two tunes ones says 15 degrees and the other 17. i assumed the 15 is a little more mild and practical. and the 17 is faster. am i right?

The 15* tune will definitely be "safer" but the 17* tune will make more power. Both tunes should be "safe" as long as the A/F is correct and you don't have any detonation.

I have a 15\17 also from RWTD. I'm running the 17 now and will continue to until it hits around the 50's or I get detonation. The 15 is milder and what I would consider a winter tune. The 17 is a perfect daily driver street\strip tune for me.

If you go 17 make sure to use 93 octane.

If I keep my foot out of it I can get right at 14mpg w\17 tune. I dont think you will see a big difference between the two. The biggest difference is w\your foot
