I'm looking to get the Phoenix setup. I have a 2000 F-350 7.3l dually crewcab longbox 6 speed stick 4WD and usually tow a 7500lb 5th wheel RV trailer.

Being as how the Phoenix won't do anything for shift points (being as how it doesn't have an automatic), should I change my selections?

1) Stock
2) 65HP Moderate Tow
3) 80HP Daily Driver
4) 120HP Race
5) Whisper mode or one of the High Idle cals
6) Anti-theft

I do have a good set of Isspro gauges installed for monitoring things.

Those will work just fine, but you don't need to have a separate tune for whisper mode. I got the same calibrations except for the whisper mode, I got a 45hp tow tune instead and added the whisper mode to the 65 and 80. I tow about the same amount but not very often, so I mainly use the 80DD tune. hope you like them.

I agree with tico, looks good to me
