Hey Everyone,
Some of you know me, some don't, that's fine. Little back story, I initially had a 2020 ST, it had a million problems but when it was running I loved it. I really enjoyed the DMS tune I had on it from ZFG for a little over two weeks before I had to get rid of the entire vehicle. I just ordered a replacement tune for my '26 through ZFG, and they don't yet offer DMS, so my question is, what are some things you all have noticed or wanted changed during your tuning process with the standard tune?

I have most bolt ons (still stock plugs)
I have a JXB Bushing, Hardened Bolt, and Livernois Brace (Overkill, I know.)
Ive already requested the Hard Rev Limiter

Otherwise, I feel like I want somewhere between performance and race here. I would be fine with a "RACE" tune, but I don't want constant high RPM's and terrible gas mileage while I commute in this thing a few days a week, so I'm not really sure how to iterate that. Nothing but good things to say about my last experience with Adam and the crew at ZFGR, so here's hoping for another great experience.

Hopefully the wait won't be too much longer!

How does that process work once it's available? Another $200 of credits and a whole new tune, or just an update?
