I love my 140 smoke tune. I have a stock 2003 HPOP and he didn't mention any caution regarding getting it. I don't run around in it, I get plenty of smoke from the 80 and 120 really. It's just when I want that extra black thick soot and I have time to plan it, that I switch to 140, smoke the ricer, then switch back to 80 E.

1200 seems fine. Do you live in an area that gets super cold? I don't have cold wheater where I live so the high idle is kinda useless.
Keep in mind that the tuner with those programs will be more than $398.
Enjoy! I just changed to DP yesterday and I love it. My Edge Evolution went bye bye.

I also didn't get the 140s, because Jody told me that with out supporting mods like HPOP, injectors, fuel I might actually lose power from 120r to 140s, so untill I do those mods I saved a little money.
You will love the DP tuner

I used the high idle this last weekend. Had to jump a chevy that was dead to the world. Hooked the jumpers up and hit high idle in a couple mins his toy started right up. He asked, HOW DID YOU DO THAT, I told him to get a ford then he can do it too. lol

I'm sure these guys are right, the 140 smoke won't do you any good... But if you plan to do more upgrades than save yourself the cost of shipping the tuner back.
How pissed are you gonna be when you have to pull your chip out, run stock for a week, and wait for the programmer to come back.
If $45 isn't a big deal to you, spend it.
I'm sure the lope idle isn't useful either but I'm bummed I didn't ask for that too. It's the curious mind that keeps you wondering...
Enjoy!

let me ask you guys this...will the 140 tune still provide alot of smoke..because if it does, then its worth it..i didnt plan on using it as a driving tune, jsut a fun tune
jhand-how much of a difference did you DP make...im kinda bummed out that ronspowerstroke said his falls flat on its face in the 80 and def. 120 setting on the early 99's....did you haev a programmer before to compare it to?

i cant imagine that with my smaller HPOP and sticks that it still wouldnt black out the car behind me
i haev been anticipating the 140 smoke for months i dont think this is gonna stop me now
unless of course it is meannigless on my early 99
DANG, why did i have to get the early 99, it will jsut be more ex*****ve next summer when i upgrade injectors, turbo, and HPOP....or can my HPOP support stage II singles?
