I think the answer depends on the tune most. There was no noticeable difference between the two when the engine was stock (other than crickets).
That brings up something I have wondered about. When you do load up a tune does the ECU still adjust the engine for different fuels? The stock tune will pull timing and such if it detects knock but does a custom one do the same?
