Message: [QUOTE="Big Bore, post: 94530, member: 760"] Ahhh, ok I figured I was missing something. I need to research atmo for my altitude here, but knowing what it would be at sea level is good also since there's always the possibility of towing there. Those exact thoughts went through my head as I read your last post. My current tuner tunes with that exact philosophy in mind. I currently use only the hot tune for DD because the lower portion of the throttle is very stockish and I can drive up the mountains without blowing smoke all over the place, egt's don't threaten to melt my motor, and when I want to pass I can meter how much power I use very easily with my foot. I also get the best mileage my truck has ever gotten with that tune, and I also see the highest boost levels I've ever had under WOT. There is a lot of travel available in the pedal, I've never understood the need to ramp up the fuel to 50% at 25% throttle input. After using tunes that ramp up instantly and are almost impossible to drive smoothly on slower or bumpy roads, it took a while to get over the dead pedal feeling, but after about a month I began to realize just how much more pleasant it was to drive. It also works a lot smoother with the cruise control. Having a smoother, slower fuel delivery on compounds would seem key to DD driveability. [/QUOTE]
