If I may offer another perspective. I have a similar setup on my 00 F350 DRW. Intake, exhaust and a full ATS transmission upgrade with billet torque converter. I also had the Superchips programmer set with a "tow" tune as I also have a 15000lb fifth wheel. I hated the shift points with the Superchips....2-3 and 3-4 were sometimes too close and TCC lockup was sometimes thrown in with each shift really pulling down rpms at shifts.
After much research and some of what Cleatus was saying about needing custom tunes for the shifting...I decided to get the
PHP shelf tunes and see how the results turned out.
Result? Perfect. Shifts much better than the old Superchips ever did. Power is fantastic in the 100 Performance tune and the shifts are fine with all the tunes. I have the built trans with the ATS shift kit and the shelf tunes are better than the Superchips in all phases.
My choices were...
1. Stock
2. 25hp tow tune
3. 65hp tow tune
4. 65hp daily driver
5. 100hp performance
6. No start
Good luck.

4. 80 light tow- I have a 7000# trailer I tow in the winter.
5. 120 or 140 hp program
6. no start/wisper mode
would like to slip the no start mode in but not as important.
questions are:
- can I and how do you order online the stock/high idle combined and no start/wisper mode combined?
-is there such a thing as econ fuel sipper program and can I still take it on the freeway for a couple of miles? Would i be better off ordering the 60 hp econ program?
It says the 60 hp is econ for better fuel mileage on the freeway and the 80 hp econ is better for stop and go is there a big difference for mileage
-Don't know which one to get the 120 or 140 hp tunes( don't know if I will get the full potential or is it a waste of a position?
-I have a 15000# fifth wheel can I still tow it in stock mode?
-I have the tripple disc. torque convertor and transgo shift kit and like how it shifts now. Do I still have to get the modified download or do I need it to control how hard it will shift with the increased hp?
-I want to get the REV-X to add to my oil, does it really work and how do I order it?
If there is anything else I have missed or that might benefit me to add please let me know.
thanks
