Crud... I forgot to mention my 60e and 80e are both mountain tunes. I have nasty hills around here and the stock shift points have a big ugly "lug" with hairy knuckles dragging on the ground. The mountain tunes bump the shift points up a few MPH to keep the RPMs above 1500 on steep grades and the engine happy.
Yup.. my HD4R100 had some "kick" to it in my first tunes - like a 300-pound linebacker stomping on a rat on the back of my theater seat. Since I spoiled myself with the F6, I worked with James at DP to get my shifts "baby-butt smooth" - as Chris put it when he took Stinky off the leash to play. My shifts don't luxuriate into gear like a Cadillac, they get there with an assertive attitude - not aggressive. I took the truck on a torture run on a 100-degree day and couldn't get the transmission over 190 degrees. My beefed-up transmission doesn't have a modified cooling system... it's just designed better than stock and the tuner treats it better than the stock tune does.
*EDIT* yfz 450 - F5? F6? Infinity?

140....better get Wood or BTS on speed dial, you may need their services soon.
Tugly: My problem is that my tranny is too cold. When its over 100 my temp never sees the other side of 160 and the other day I drove 90 miles to Chula Vista with the outside temps between 58-62 at 6a.m. and I never hit 120 degrees the whole trip

I know I am a little Nurvice about the tranny too. I only have 35,000 miles on it but I guess with that much of a gain it could hurt it. I wish I could have brought my torque shift with me to this truck after I sold my 6.0. I know it would never work but imagine the 7.3 with the torque shift it would be an awesome combo. I got the tune to know it's there and occasionally play with I don't plan on beating it up. I have not had much luck with e4od's in the past and I know these trannys are pretty similar.

Same here. When Dyno'd, the 80E tune was just a hair over 80 hp inmprovement. Same with the 40 tow. those are the only tunes I got and they work fine for me. think i've put on about 80000 miles since I got them and have have no problems except the f5 switch went out. They replaced it free...

I might resort to some form of grill cover that i can snap on in the winter to keep the temps up or i might pull the fan in the winter as well. Thanks for the offer Tom but I should keep my 6.0 cooler after it took me 7 hours to put the darn thing in. Between the 6.0 and the Mag-Hytec pan, i may be too cold in the winter
