The Econo tune is the mid tune. As to the HP gain quoted for each one, I've forgotten just how much the lower power ones are each supposed to make.

There are three tunes, Tow Safe, which is the lowest power gain, Economy, which is the mid level power gain, and Hi Performance, which is, well, Hi performance.

I haven't tried the Tow Safe mode yet. Jumped straight in to the Hi Performance mode and man oh man is it a major jump up from stock. The Econo mode is a nice gain too and had I tried it first I'd have been impressed.

Question for Vic

I will have a brand new stock motor in my truck by next Friday. My question is, how long (in miles) do i need to wait before i throw my SCMT back in the truck? Im a little leary about doing it the first day i get it back. Should I stay away from the High-Perf tune for a while too?

A Ford tech told me that the reason for the 10-30 break in oil is to make sure the motor wears properly and gets rid of any metal shavings present from the build (easier with the lower viscoscity). He went on to say that 500 miles would be plenty to accomplish this. So, I would not put any tune in until thats done.
