Second Try - Gauges and Micro Tuner (SCMT)

Can any of you with a SuperChip Micro Tuner and gauges tell me what your seeing? I'd like to know at the 60hp setting if your getting temps that are of any concern. Also at the 80hp setting. Both without towing... I'm trying to figure out my next upgrade. Gauges, exhaust or suspension? Thanks...

Do you already have the SCMT?

It won't tell you much because temps vary by incline, weight and most of all, your stock ECU code. Even with all other factors equal, the temps will be different if someone has a different ECU code.

Yes, I have the Micro Tuner but don't have gauges. There are mixed messages on using the 80hp without gauges and I was wondering what those that have them are actually seeing. I currently have the 60hp setting and would like as much hp as I could get.

Who's giving mixed messages? If you tow more than 4000lbs with the 80 HP, you MUST use gauges and an exhaust system... no ands, ifs or buts...
