I wouldn't worry about a fuel system unless you're looking for 400+ horsepower.My biggest concern is the tranny. Putting amsoil in it. I do not want to blow it up. Unfortunately there is no guarantee that your tranny will live, stock or otherwise. The 4R100 transmission is a pretty stout unit but the only way to make one live a decent life is maintenance and responsible operation. SOOO im looking for an eco mode. PHP no longer offers an economy program (previously called "Fuel Sipper") due to folks not understanding that it was designed for in-town and <50 MPH start and stop driving.I travel 38 miles one way 1/3 is mountain driving and its laggen bad in the mountains. Lagging bad? Could you elaborate a bit more on this please? I can probably figure it out for you but I need to know what is going on and what you expect out of the truck.What type of eco modes do you have i only say 2. I also want some power programs for fun but dont wanna trash the tranny. If you're that concerned about the transmission then "fun" probably isn't going to help it any. Tell me what you think. I did read all your programs what do u recommend
Ps. 70 mph is about 2200 rpmSo you've got 4.10:1 rear gears. They're not the best for fuel efficiency but they really help if you're towing anything. You didn't mention if you were towing or not.
