So ummm im new to the whole tuner thing.....What are the best settings to make? Im basically just Using it for Fuel Economy and power gains and i have bigger tires so i adjusted the tire size. But i will use it for towing and all that good stuff to. But ill worry about the towing part later. Anyways whoever has one would be great if u could help me out. thanks

 

im gettin one soon!!! so i wana know too haha

 

anyone????

 

I'm just running the 87 octane setting with the only other adjustment is tire size.

My '98 ran great on the tow setting and on premium fuel with the Superchips for that truck, but with the price of fuel I'm not sure if I'm ready to run premium. I know my mileage was better running the tow setting on my '98, but I don't think it was enough to offset the price of the premium fuel. I just ran it in the summer when I wanted that little extra out of my 5.2L.

Since the Hemi is running about 120 more hp than my 5.2L I haven't had the urge yet to try the other settings on the flashpaq yet.

 

i'm hearing running performance tune set for running 91 octane while running 93 octane gives you quite a boost in economy. heard this on quite a few posts now.

 

I am running the 91 tune on 92 gas. I also have all the shift points maxed out on the tuner. It has given me a nice bump in performance and economy.

 

I calculated it out about a year and a half ago. The best thing you can do for fuel economy is to use the performance tune and spend the extra at the pump for the 93 octane. The better mpg's I got, outweighed the difference in cost between 87 & 93 octane. It may cost you more per fill-up, but you'll be filling up less often...

 

hammer, do you remember how much of a difference that was?

 

Well ill try putting in 93 next time i fill up and change the settings to the 91 Octane. Right now i got 87 in it so ill keep it at economy. Ill let u guys know the difference

 

sweet. you're little experiment will likely determing if i buy one of these (or the hypertech max energy) in the near future. thanks redneck
