Well im going to order my dp chip and just wanted some input, i read in some past forums that the 60hp tow has better fuel millage in town than the 80hp econo, but the 80hp econo has the better fuel millage on the highway, is this true?

I was planning to order the 60hp tow, 80hp econo and the 120hp performance for playing but if anyone has a better suggestion please let me know.

Oh and insurance came through and their going to replace my stereo so not all is lost but the contents of my vehicle are still not covered but that goes for anyone with ICBC.

STOCK and NO START are free. Jody recommneds "cold starting" in stock. And when you remove the F5 it defaults to NO START (and it will be in position 0).

Hope this helps.

I have no start, stock, 60 tow, 80 econo, 120 race. I would say the 60 tow and 80 econo are about the same milage in the city. It really depends on your driving habbits. You won't be able to wipe the smile off your face once you get it! Do you have a valve body and gauges?

I didn't notice alot of difference in the 60 tow and 80 econo on short trips. I like the 80's shifting better, so I use it most of the time.
