I am filling out the form at Bama Chips for a C&L CAI and they are asking for the calibration code, Full Tire Size, and Axel Code. Where can I find this information?

Also when selecting the custom tunes what are the differences between 93 Performace, 93 Torque, and 93 Race?

The calibration code is a 4 character number. It's located on a sticker on the ECM, right next to the fuse box. It's also behind one of the doors in the footwell on some cars.

Axle code is what rear end gear ratio you have. Stock is 3.31 or 3.55 depending on your options. You can check by looking at your "pumpkin" on the rear end. There will be a sticker indicating your gear ratio.

Look up the exact tire and size you have on tirerack.com. Under specs, it will tell you the revs per mile. That's what you give him. There are calculators out there, but the manufacturer specs will be more accurate.

you can also check the sticker on the door, the rest of the sticker is decoded in the manual

BG — 3.31 — non-limited slip
CD — 3.55 — limited slip
CG — 3.31 — limited slip

i think you also need to check your door for the calibration code, if theres something that says calibrated on the door. because when bringing it in for servic some times depending what they are doing they recalibrate it, so you have a different code. i could be wrong though.

oh yeah. As far as the tune itself goes...

Performance: A modest gain through the tire band.
Torque: The performance tweaks are done to maximize torque
Race: Pretty much the torque tune, with increased pedal sensitivity. It takes the pedal travel and drops it down to the (approximately) first 50% of the pedal. Basically, 50% and 100% pedal are about the same.

Basically, race and torque are best for racing. I prefer race. Performance is good for the street, especially in bad weather and parking lots. The jumpy throttle on the other 2 take some getting used to. For what it's worth, I run the 93 race tune at all times.

The only difference between race and performance tune is the race tune eliminates the throttle lag.
