Default How Bout' a "Snow and Ice" tune

I drove up to Denver today in the snow and ice and came up with the idea of a Snow and Ice tune. currently I only had the 60 80 and 100 HP tunes loade. several times when i gave it gas on the hill climb on the freeway the wheels would break loose. Maybe Bill could add this to their selection of tunes for the FU and flip chip. basically we want to avoid wheel slip as much as possible. also want to stay off brakes as much as possible when slowing. Here are some of the things I was thinking about
  • below stock power levels on light to med throttle
  • hold the higher gears longer
  • allow 2nd gear manual start
  • slow soft TC lockup delayed unlock
  • engine braking automatically on decel
  • Longer glow plug on times
  • faster engine warm up
any other ideas? As I am clueless about auto transmission stuff I am kinda hoping Cody or Bill can throw out some ideas...

I think this should also be a good MPG tune as we would be backing off the power and fuel levels :o
