Default Downloading via Pegasus?

Hi Bill & Corey,
Just wandering if it is possible for us Minotaur package folks to download standard files from the Pegasus server for our vehicle (like the FU folks do). Bill mentioned he was gonna get me setup with the tow tunes but I know how busy you are so I figured it would be easier for me to downloand them from the server and make the changes I need to run them on my truck... also would like to try the newer FS and daily driver tune
thanks
DJ

We don't have the Minotaur stuff set up the same way the Pegasus stuff is set up. Since all the files are unencrypted, we handle that on an e-mail basis only.

As for files, you should already have everything we had for VRAA6Y7 including 75 Fuel Sipper and 80 Daily Driver. What are we missing?

the towing tunes, remember you PM'ed me about it a week or so ago. if you can shoot all 4 tow tunes my way that would be great
also can I tow heavy with 80hp tow for example as long as I keep an eye on the EGT? Is the main difference in the fueling to keep the EGT's under control when towing or do you have other changes in shift stratagies between the tow tunes???

also is the 80hp performance and 80hp daily driver the same thing or different
Thanks

Towing programs have slightly extended shifting strategies to keep RPMs and boost up. They also use a different fuel curve in order to make it a little less aggressive on light throttle but ramps up a bit quicker for mid to heavy throttle. Low boost fueling is also down to help keep the trailer (and livestock) from getting smoked out.

I'll get them over to you shortly.

I've got a 'Black Chrome' right rear wheel.
It was suggested to me to rotate my tires so I can have all of them looking the same and not worry about cleaning them.


Well, I kind of like the idea now.
