There are a couple superduty guys running it. its just an idle tune. It changes the timing a lot (retards it I think) and so it would not be a good idea to drive it like that.

Yep thats me! I haven't had the lope for a while now. I am just waiting for it to start again!

Good call on leaving the lope idle tune out. Seems like a waste of $45 to me. But some have the money so they do it. Might be cool at a sled pull while your waiting your turn to pull but even then your a poser.
