So, maybe one of you guys can answer this. I know on the previous revisions of the 3815, there was a 87, 89, and 91 octane tune. From what I understand, they did away with the 89 tune and now have 87, tow and performance. I am assuming the performance is still the old 91 tune. Well mine is on its way, and wanted to know which octane of gas I should use in my truck. In North Carolina we have 87, 89, and 93 octane. So should I use 89 or 93 with the performance tune? Thanks
How much of a difference is there between the tunes? is the 87 much better than stock but really lacking compared to the 91?

i recently purchased a 3715 micro max tuner for my 02 5.9L 1500.
started with the 87 tune and ran a tank and a half of 93 octane through the system.
i put the performance tune on my truck and it seemed like a total turd. i put it back at the 87 tune and it really perked back up. im very happy with the 87 tune and was wondering if it would hurt running 93 octane all the time with only the 87 tune ??

So if you don't have 91 octane you better run the 93 octane?? (91 octane is very hard for me to find and I would like to be consistent with the octane I run)

but if you do feel a difference and think the 91 is better, then just run with the 93 all the time. that's what most of us on here with the performance tune do anyway, run the 91 tune with 93 octane fuel.

Why would the performance tune be lacking? and how could the 87 tune out perform the performance tune?

unfortunately, a 3715 is not updateable, so he's stuck with what he's got (i think).

well im sticking with the 93 octane on the 87 tune, truck runs great and no complaints, just thought is was freakin weird that the performance tune was bunk.
im thinking about getting an aftermarket torque converter . im pretty sure that will help.
almost seems like the tuner messed with the shift points on the performance tune and just ,, well blah... you get what i mean. i happy with the 87 so thats where i shall stay
