I think they are going to have the mileageXS program available as a 4th option as well.

They advertise about 21hp on other 4.7 applications, I don't understand why daks would be so much less. Hopefully that tech does not know what is going on.

I'd be perfectly happy with no horsepower gain if I could get rid of torque management. I've had tunes on other vehicles that only eliminated torque management and the difference in performance and drivability is amazing. Most OEM tunes pull timing during shifts (in the interest of transmission durability) and simply eliminating this can have a huge impact on acceleration. I suspect the real benefits of any tune won't be apparent on a dyno.
