Even more questions

Thanks for the reply, Bill. I just sent my email with the form right before I saw your post. The two tunes I selected were the "Fuel Sipper" and the "65 HP Standard Tow". I also only put on the PCM code.

First off, do those tunes sound about right? Or should I select something different. Basically I want the ones that are going to be best for me. And should I resend the form with the additional information, or just email the codes to you to you?

Also, just out of curiosity, why does the HP go down the heavier you intend to tow? Is this an engine protection thing or something else?

Get a Phoenix or the FU chip Once you discover shift on the fly tuning you will never go back to a programmer
higher the HP, the higher the EGT temps, also more load on trans so higher trans temps... SO yes its a protection of the engine and tranny thing.. the difference at cruising with the 60-80-100HP for example is not going to feel much different. you could cruise in the 140hp tune pulling a trailer on flat ground on the interstate with no issues at all .... its under load such as hill climbing or accelerating that the difference shows up... for example in the Fuel Sipper tune I can hit about 1200F at full throttle on the freeway accel from 60 to 90mph do the same in the 100HP tune I can get EGT's into the 1400F range... I know cuz I just did this test yesterday as I was playing with some custom tuning...

I really like the response of the 80HP tune and its fine for light towing. Still working on tweaking the FS tune to get it to do what I want it to...

While we are on the altitude topic, BILL can ya reply to the PM I sent ya and check the Altitude tuning thread in the Minotaur Forum? I need your with some tuning
