It seems to me that most posts here always have some mistake or negative posted to them...
This one will be totally opposite!
I just installed my 6 pos phoenix and here are my impressions:
Pos 1: Stock
-seems almost to accelerate a little better. I am assuming thats just my imagination.
Pos 2: 1000 rpm hi Idle
-What can I say, it does just that.Perfect
Pos 3: 45 hp tow
-I tried this tune last, it was obviously perkier than stock, but after trying the others, its definitely reserved for towing
Pos 4: 65 hp Tow
-This is the the amount of power these trucks should have come with. Not mind shattering, but it moves how you'd expect the big motor to push it. I have a JWVB and it shifts just like before the chip. (45 tow is the same shifting) I never really noticed how it shifted with the valve body until I tried the Pos 5...I do remember how much I hated the pre valve body shifting. It sucked.
Pos 5: 80 hp DD
OK, to be honest this was the second tune I tried...the first was hi idle. Shifting is amazing. The best of all the positions in that department. The throttle is docile till about 25% into it then it shows itself. No smoke, but good power. below 25% is feels like the truck is just running really good and light.
I took it out and hammered on it and it was zippy, just not crazy crazy. I immediatley started thinking, what's next on the upgrade list...Ported heads and the IDM to get the throttle response and low end boost up.
This is definitely going to be my DD position, Its a clean looking way to go fast.
Pos 6: 100 hp Perf
After trying the 80 dd, I had my fingers crossed for the 100 hp tune...and I was initially doubtful. I was thinking that my motor was just too stock to really see crazy gains. So I switched it to 6, punched it and heard that turbo spin and was sucked into my seat. Now thats more like it. It was docile when I let off the loud pedal.
So I thought, I need to check the smoke, to see how undercover I need to be to use this. I punched it again while looking in the mirror...And sure enough there was that locomotive tell tale! She definitely smokes and is moving.
This tune will be reserved for when I really need to get somewhere and who cares who sees.
So over all I am very very happy! PHP has made me a believer for sure. They delivered a perfect chip exactly how I wanted it (After Bill was kind enough to discuss with me what I needed) Great stuff!
