What is the best setting for HP on the predator programmer, 65 HP or 100 HP for all the time driving and no towing.

I have a 2003 F-250 (with no problems at all) 6.0 auto, four door 4X4. I have been running the 65 HP tune for about a year. I've been getting about 17 mpg average and 22 mpg on the highway. I installed the 100 HP tune for a week end
during the Down River cruse here in Michigan. It was crazy nuts with power but
my mpg went right down the tubes.

The 65 HP tune is very respectable.. Very noticable.. The 100HP tune suggests 'no towing'.. ONLY HAULING.. Plus, you get the extra 65HP/150ft lbs, without loosing to much MPG if you can show some restraint.. 1-3 increase in MPG with the 65 tune, and extra punch when you need it to be there..

.........................HP...................
