    Nope. Full day. Although, we open later. But, we close later. Pretty much kills the day. Can’t do anything cool in the morning. Even less time to do anything in the evening.

    so if you switch back and forth it's essentially the same tune?

    No. It’s like having all the tunes smashed into one and it’ll change based on what you are running vs having to flash new tunes.

    Are you dongle or dongleless?

    If dongle, then you only have the dongle.

    If dongleless, OVT sent you a message with a REG file. It has your System ID in the file name. Just double click it to install.

    So in theory the premium vs regular tune doesnt really matter because it will always learn to the correct values?

    Both the Base and SFOB are awesome. They really show what this engine can do.

    No. Double click on the file that OVT sent you.

    Exactly.

    I really don't think clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTC, CEL "check engine light") after a flash is necessary. Just reset Learn Values

    The DTC Reset clears the CEL and emissions side. Not as critical as the LV, but it helps baseline everything.
