Ok, gotcha.


Bill, will any of these be alright for towing when running a aggressive tow tune and about 10k trailer, or would you recommend one FICM tune over another?

If your able to max out the injectors, wouldn't EGT be a issue when pulling a long grade with said weight.

For heavier pulling, I'd stick to the Econ or Atlas 40. While the FICM and ECM tuning have the capability to max the injectors out, it all depends on how aggressive BOTH units are and also how aggressively you drive the vehicle. For normal day to day driving, EGTs shouldn't be a concern, even with the bigger FICM tunes. Of course, heavy towing is always a situation where EGTs need to be a bigger concern, and with that in mind we've always done lower power levels in order to provide a greater safety margin.

I hope this helps.

Next you'll be telling me that the new tuning is causing some accelerated tire wear! :w2:
