Best PCM code?

I was wondering is there a best or preferred PCM code for our 7.3? Thanks

The one you have...

Your tuner will take care of that.

NVK is liked by most "power" tuners, PMT is liked by most tow tuners...

Those are really the two you are stuck with on a 2000-2001...

Thanks for the info. My truck is a NVK5 and I was told my tuner is using the PMT1. Still learning.

I prefer the base trans stradigy of PMT over the NVK.
