2013 Challenger question

I have a 2013 Challenger with the 5.7 and automatic trans. I would like to know a few things that I can do with your new tune.
I would like to run 87 gas due to the fact I drive 65 miles a day going to work seven days a week.
I would like to reduce the torque management, get a firmer shift, turn the MDS off, throttle boost, maybe have the cold air intake option, and be able to do all of this with the intune DCX when you have that tune ready. Or is this something I will need a custom tune to get it.
I like your trinity, but I do not need all of the features it offers. I like to load a program, unplug it and go have some fun.
And will this have any effect with the remote start, keyless entry, and the push button start.
Will I have any issues using the push to start button when programming the car without the key.
Also, are your power and torque gains with the performance tune, at the real wheels, at the flywheel, and what will it change when in sport mode?
Thank You

We do not offer an 87 performance tune, as it would have to be detuned to make it safe. We always recommend removing the starter button and using the key when programming.

Thanks

What else did you need to know?
87 octane and performance tunes on high compression V8s do not go hand in hand.

Gains are at the wheels :)

And one more thing; do you guys have any kind of release date in mind for the 13's yet?

All of what you are asking for is already in the tool. As for the remote start/keyless entry/push button system thats on the vehicle, there's no changes made to that system.

Why not just leave MDS on and use the performance tune? I also drive 60+ miles per day. Disabling MDS will get you worse mileage with an 87 tune than leaving MDS on with a performance tune requiring premium.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I ordered a Intune DCX yesterday. So when the tune is released, I will go with the 93 tune, make the other changes I like and start with the MDS on.

There needs to be a way to not have the MDS not come on until 50 mph or about. Mine kicks on at 35 mph or so and its sounds bad but when you want to go alittle it kicks off and down shifts all at the same time.....

Mike, it sounds like a plan to me. Hopefully it will be before the snow flies and the car is put up for winter.
