MORE POWER PLEASE

I have 35 inch Toyo's on my 00 eXcursion with 4:30 gears an a V10 with no engine or drive line upgrades. I am looking for a programmer to help out with the transmission shift points (due to my tires) to help me pull a 8,000 lb toy hauler. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? I am also looking at a new air intake and possibly a different muffler to open her up a little bit.

bigdex73 - What suspension upgrades do you have to be able to fit the 35s'? I have a similar setup and am looking at getting some tunes from Mike at 5 star.

I put a 4 in BDS lift with leaf springs all the way around. The kit says it will allow 33s but my 35s fir just fine; however I am looking for some 17x10 wheels with a neg offspace to help out with tire rub when I cut the wheel all the way to the left or right.
Now I just need to figure out the transmission shift point program.

2.5'' Levelling kit will get you close. Expect some tire rub on the leaf springs.

Thanks for the compliment! Its a customers car so I don't ask, just do. The turbo is much bigger then the stock thing that was on there. He may be running a smaller turbo so it spools faster, the car is going to be tracked.
