I struggled with what order of modifications to improve performance. I didn't want to spend the cash for headers, exhaust, CAI and tuners all at the same time. For convenience and cost sake I went with 5 star tune first. I dialed in the 87 performance. I was a little disappointed with the street performance. It was too aggressive and high revving. Then I took it out on some 2 tracks. It really shined off road. It was a night and day difference. I will definitely dial in the 93 performance for serious off road driving. I am going to try the 87 economy tune for smooth in town driving. Thanks for the advice Chris.

The performance tunes are definitely better for offroad unless you just like running at a little higher rpms. Part of what makes them so great offroad is not shifting so quickly at lower rpms so that you aren't in say fifth gear at 25-30mph. The economy tuning is definitely the best overall for the street, I run my economy tuning all the time around here because I rarely need the performance or towing in my regular daily driving.
