flashpaq on the 5.4L?

hi, so does anyone have this unit on their truck, how do you like it? i was reading and im not quite clear on the different modes, as tow adds the least hp and torque, economy adds more power and torque that tow. can anyone clear this up for me? thanks gentlemen.

I don't remember tow/eco tunes on the gas motors. Usually it's 87, 89 and 92 octane tunes, and you use the correct fuel for the tune.

The diesel's will have a tow/eco/HP tune which regulates the EGTs, when you tow with the diesel, the egt's will get high, so I guess they run them a little rich during cruise.

I recently purchased the SCT Livewire from 5 Star Tuning. You can select any combination of octane/tune that you want with the custom tune package, which is also available on the SCT X3 tuner. I selected the following:

87 Octane / Economy
89 Octane / Tow
93 Octane / Performance

I'm very happy with the tuner and highly recommend 5 Star Tuning!
