The "mountain" part of the tune is going to be a "high altitude compensating" type tune. Some folks will tune to aid in smoke reduction and start of injection to help with the lower atmospheric pressure of high elevations. Shift strategies can also be manipulated to cause slightly later upshifts as to not bog down the engine.

I sincerely believe that Bill's 80 HP daily driver tune will work excellently for you....even in the mountains....but there is always the possibility that he will work with you to get a truly custom tune specifically for what you need to do.
