Cold Weather Lope Tune

I read on another forum that lope tune+cold weather=BOOM! Is that true? Also, is the tune bad for the truck? I can't imagine that if it is Bill would have it as an option.

I am going to let Bill handle this one when he gets on here. I'll alert him and let him know that this one requires his expetise.

I don't condone the use of tunes such as this so I will keep my mouth shut and fingers stay idle.

Could you PM me to let me know why?

Anyone else out there with the lope tune? Issues? No problems?

I'll shoot.........I believe making a lope tune would consist of advancing the hell out of the timing @ idle to produce the white smoke and crappy idle. The problem I see with using the "lope" in cold weather would be that there are many maps designed to advance timing in cold weather to compensate for a mechanical delay due to thicker oil, and "slower" moving injectors. Combine these already advanced conditions with way more advance of the "lope" tune and the motor probably wont be too happy. Though I dont know if the "lope" tune has lessened SOI for cold weather to prevent any issues. Maybe someone else here has looked at this program and knows more about it............
