tunes
Time for tunes! So, what's the real world difference between Jody's 100/120/and two 140 tunes? I'm really only looking for one play tune(I'm sure thats gonna change) besides the tow and others. I kinda remember that the oil pump/injectors run out of steam with the 140's but thats one of the reasons I'm asking. I'm not looking to terrorize the neighborhood, just a little oomph when I want. Truck is stock except for the support mods.
Oh, by the way, if I didn't run across you guys I probably would have been perfectly happy w/a stock truck(well, maybe not perfectly). The wife blames you too

Hook it, I'll pull it.

You wont get all the power the 140a has, but you can blow a lot of smoke with it. lol. I got the 140 right off the bat before I did the turbo and injectors, and knew I wasn't getting all it had, but I get it all now. 
The best thing to do is to call Jody and he can help you decide what is best for you and your truck.
Glad we made your wife mad. Easier to beg forgiveness, then to ask for permission.

I have the tunes mentioned in sig. My favorite is the 60 tow (used 80% of time) and the 120r for the rest. I like the power and idle of the 120r over the 80e. If I had to do again I would get the tow tunes I have and 120r.

I suggest a tow tune, econo tune, and a play tune or two.
I am rarely ever in the 140 tune, in fact the first time I put it in there was last sunday to dyno.
Other than that, I use my 100hp performance as my DD.

Well Super, comparing your truck to mine is apples/oranges, but why do you like the 100 over the 80E? I ask because I guess I'm torn between the 100 and 120. There's always the option of both though- see what this place does!

I have the 120 race and the 140 I think extreme as my big tunes. The 120 just goes the 140 blows a lot of smoke. It's exactly what I wanted. Ask Jody and he will tell you which one to get.

Well its honestly because for some reason my 100 Performance tune gets the best MPG.

I don't like the 60 tow except when it's slick out (raining or snowing) I have used it in the past when towing but playing with it on the way home from RRE after talking with Barry, I found that my EGT's were easier to control in the 80E than in the 60 tow. I drive around in the 80E 95% of the time at least. If I really want some smoke, I go to the 140, and if I KNOW I am going to race, I will put it in 120 because I know it has a few more HP to the wheels, but it's hard to tell the difference really.
