Now to get rid of my Edge Juice w/ Attitude monitor

Well, I will almost bet you ordered more than you need, and left out the 120 race tune. Nevertheless, you should be giddy. You will be very pleased with the way the truck performs. I usually cruise around in the 80 econ or 60 tow.

So how hard would it be to add the 120 tune later if I decided to?

I ordered 120 race and rarely use it, it makes my tranny act stupid at 0-45MPH. I think I need a BTS VB.

Reading alot about the DP tuner and am getting interested. Have a 99 F350 CC DRW totally stock. What I am most interested in is MAX fuel milage and then the occasional 'I can't believe you pulled out in front of me smoke in the face pass.' Any suggestions?
Thanks

My 80econo setting is nice truck runs quiet and strong, 120race will smoke when the engine is grunting once the turbo spools up the smoke clears and you're blasting off like a rocket. Now as far as fuel economy goes I can't help you much there I don't drive my truck everyday and rarely fill it up, it would take months for me to go through a tank of diesel. I think I will start driving the truck everyday soon though because the news just reported gasoline is going to $4.00 per gallon, once I start driving it everyday I can calculate my fuel milage more accurately than the lye-o-meter does.

Fuel Mileage goes out the window once you have the option of 140 Smoke. You seriously have a hard time not flipping to it. I love my DP and Dennis @ ITP got it to me quickly. Do gauges first though! I can't stress that enough. EGT's can sweep up fast and you won't know it unless you have gauges.

Now I am starting to question whether I should have ordered the 120 Race tune. I guess we will find out.

I think you'll be fine without the 120 race. I have it and can't remember ever using it. I usually switch from 80 econo to 140 smoke.

Well, after much contemplation I called this morning and added the 120 Race Tune to my order. If figured what the hell, it's only $45.00.
Should be here tuesday or wednesday.

When I send mine back to get the BTS VB tweaks, I'll add high idle, 40 tow, & 140 Smoke. I wonder if they'll replace the 120 Race with the 140 Smoke....
