Great times! I gotta start modding mine up! Maybe I'll get on that now that the Z28 is out of commission (clutch) for a while, lol.

93 octane tune yes..
this was my more mild tune i didnt load the aggerssive tune at the track since these cars seem to like to be driven around a little with the new tune before some WOT passes

When you guys get the 93 octane tune, does that mean all you can use from now on is 93 octane? Doesn't that car have multiple spark tables like the 4th gen fbodies?

Yes it does, on the gt there are actually 4 tables. On high and one low octane, then one high dod and one low dod octane tables.

The gxp only uses the high/low octane tables.

Very nice runs for the mods. Looks like you are getting a good deal out of it. Now get it in the 12's!
