OFT which tune to run

So I got my OFT in the mail today. I purchased it from ModBargains.com get customer service.

Before I decide to leave work and drive around Miami wasting gas, which tune file should I run? Stage 1 or 2.

I always pumping 93 in my car and I have the OEM Option Borla Catback installed.

Stage 2 is for E85 and/or catless headers.

Since you use neither, use Stage 1.

Run Stage 1, and have fun!

Make sure the OFT is updated (does so automatically when plugged into computer/connected to internet) and you'll have fast flash times.

Stage 1 is for mostly stock car and pump gas. There is 91 and 93 tunes
Stage 2 is for catless full exhaust and also pump gas. Also 91 and 93 tunes
E85 is for ethanol e85 with full exhaust no cats.

You do not want to run e85 fuel with a pump gas stage 1 or 2 tune or the other way around.

you can run stage 2 even with stock headers no problem. Use the stage 2 EL tune.

we tried it on my friend's 86 and its been running okay. theres also a thread about stock 86s running on stage 2 e85. If they can run stage 2 on E85, then i think youll be safe on stage 2 91/93 octane map.

@duke_FRS you can listen to Weapon86...or the multiple people telling you to run stage 1, including the people who create the tunes. Your choice ultimately
