Please ignore my ignorance here. If I was to get the ST tuned, Would the tune only apply to the Sport Drive mode? For example you would not want it active in eco, snow, etc...

I am a novice as well. I can say that the tune I applied from PDB was 'global' e.g. it applied to all drive modes while appearing to maintain the applicable drive mode's features (e.g. reduce fuel consumption in Eco).

Being a novice also,
I'm looking for HP and Torque increases from PBD , ZFG, 5Star,
I can't find that info.

Looks like ZFG PULLED 110 HP , with just a 93 tune.

If that's correct.
I know who I'll be using.

It would be wise to do so. My ST, with all the supporting mods has been 12.12 in the 1/4 and 3.94 to 60 on his 93 tune. Don’t expect those numbers without other mods but expect it to be a real good time.

If I just go with a stock 93 tune, then later do the other mods , can I upgrade the tune to match?

Yes, ZFG will retune for your upgrades, for reasonable rates, really reasonable if you buy your parts from them. I have the 93 Tune w/ a K&N Filter, and the vehicle is completely different. Traction control off it'll smoke the tires through first gear.. it's a good time.

I have a LIVERNOIS tune installed and it is active in all drive modes but really shines in Sport mode... :)

Where can we find mods? I can only find the Whipple Intercooler replacement and Borla cat back exhaust.

So, I live in Iowa. We only have 87(E10), 88 (E15), 91 octane at pumps. We also have E85. Can we run E85? The manual says no more than 15% ethanol. But these guys are running higher.

I run a 91/93 octane tune from LIVERNOIS and it does Great.
