I just went to town, all down hill, usually ride the brakes for about 1 mile, tonite hit decel and never touched the brakes til the stop sign. 55 on top of hill, down to 30mph when i had to brake. This is to good to be true. no more replacing rotors.

Wait til you use decel when you tow. That tune alone is worth the price of the chip. Slow is good sometimes.

Question for those who have the decel, I noticed I slowed to much going down hill, I would think it is ok to throttle back up with it in decel mode and let it slow again. Am I right in thinking this?

Thanks

You just learned lesson one about "throttle up" while in decel. You have to switch to another tune then back to decel. After a few trips down that hill you will have it down pat.
