I've only had my chip a week, but I've been running in economy (60 hp) mode most of the time.

I've put in in extreme (125 hp) mode a couple of times, but the tires are too noisy in that mode.

I have a 34' Cedar Creek that weighs in at over 15,000 pounds. I pulled it over 2200 miles with the 110HP programmed in. No problems at all. The higghest I ever saw the Pyro go to was a bit over 700 degrees F. It pulls that thing like it is not even there. (Not that I would recommend it but I had no problems doing 80MPH on the highways.)

I think you are fine. Just watch the Pyro.

Hey dantran,
those have got to be post turbo temps right?? I'm stock and not pulling I can get to 1200 easy pre turbo temps.

If you are post turbo you have got to add ad much as 300 degs to get you actule temp which puts you at 1000 still great considering the setting your running in!!
