My mileage is getting up there at 115k so i'm a little nervous, but i'm thinking of tuning soon. Any people tuned and regret it?

Nope you will be fine 100 k today is not that high of miles. It's not the 80s anymore. 100k is common these days 200 is getting broken in. 300 is getting up there. But to be honest tune is not gonna damage your motor. The way you maintain your oil and service your motor will effect the life

I got the tune on my suburban at around 137k and have loved every minute of it!! It's like a whole new ride now with how it feels and drives. A well maintained ride at 100k still has a LOT of life left in it.

I have loved my tune since I got it. Have been to Alabama a few times and really had a chance to open her up on some of the back roads/ hills and let her sing. She pulls HARD when I need her to, and smoothly cruises when I'm taking the scenic way home. ~140k and still going.

I know the NNBS' really wake up with tunes, what about NBS? Do they have all the torque management in place like the NNBS?

The NBS, NNBS, nnnbs all have the torque management among other items that "detune" the power. It is all to save the drive train. Unlike the old cars. Example. A 70s cadi. Even with the 400 big block it still only made around 240hp and 320# torque. But it was 6,#### pounds yet it could ROAST the tires. It didn't have any management. Man other reason why all the newer motors make higher power but are just as slow as the older cars if not slower. Also GM and ford are notorious about detunig the cars from factory. The main reason that they do this is to be able to meet the EPA guidelines and fuel economy regulations set by government standards.

Budy of mine in CA has a 911 SC and every year for emotions he bypasses one turbo. And detuned around 250hp to meet the inspection dB for sound and the emissions. Then he drives to his buddies shop and re loads tune and zoom zoom. If he didn't detune he would fail horridly.

YES tune wakes things up.
