So I have been told that there is some kind of tables within our sst that you have to adjust for higher power output. Any truth to this? Or any suggestions as to what to do other than just not run the 100 tune lol

I've heard that Brian from GST has been working on an SST tune.

well my 91 tune is running good and i pulled a 12.8 @104 but when i switch to the 100 octane tune which is easily more noticable while driving on the street, but when running the car on the drag strip it gives a hard clunk switching from 1/2 or acts like it doesnt want to change gears at all. however even with a horible start and missing a gear the car still manages a 13.2 but its at 106mph which is where i can tell there is more power. i only ran the car on the 100 octane tune twice for fear of damaging the trans. so i dont have any information past this

Yup when you start making real power you need to run less boost in 1st and sometimes 2nd (depending on power).

Don't worry, the less boost will actually make the car faster because it will actually shift. ;)

Gear-based boost is your friend.
