I live in delaware so it's low elevation but has hills and curves when driving. I loaded my SC this past Saturday with the 87 tune and had pinging. Since then I returned the Jeep to stock, double checked the Software was updated, then Tuned again with 87. I took it easy until I burned a 1/4 tank of gas and then did some nice skinny pedal smash tests and had no pinging. I had the RPMs up to red line and still nothing. I drove around a lot and burned the tank to empty and filled her up with 93 octane today in the morning and loaded the 93 octane tune. Took it easy on my way to work (around 50 miles) then on the way home did the same type of tests. Still no pinging and the 93 tune felt good. I was able to stay in 5th/ 6th longer without down shifting on I95. Next tune will me the Tow. Home that helps. Bottom line, returning to stock then tuning again worked for me.
FYI- 2010 Sport 2 door, 6 speed manual, 35'' tires, stock 3.73 gears.

Not manually but the tunes have timing increases factored in and are customized throughout the RPM range to maximize the vehicles power output.

I connected my Fashpaq yesterday with some data recorded that should have uploaded to your server.

What did you guys see?
