Then the uprev instructions and it blinks back. Cruise control blinks back how many times I clicked cancel so I'm assuming I'm tuned with uprev. Cruise control has worked fine. Now I'm worried because I don't know what map I was in and don't want to put it into a map that might hurt something. Do I have anything to worry about? From researching it looks like the most common maping is:



1: Tuned Map for 91 Octane

2: Tuned Map for Higher Octane

3: Valet

4: Anti-Theft

5: Factory Maps



Is there a way to verify if this is my setup? What else should I know? Also I bought the car in Florida and brought it to utah, would the tune not be as good now? I've been very happy with the power and performance of the car, hope I don't f that up now lol. Thoughts?

I would be very concerned. Florida has 93 octane and it's at sea level. You're at altitude on 91. You've got to be running lean. Go make a pull on a dyno and see what the sniffer says your AFR is.

The higher the altitude the lower octane required. I'm at over 5300ft and 91 should be fine here. I will get it to a dyno soon though and see what each Map looks like a determine if I need a re-tune

Altitude has less air. Cars pop rich up here.
