Pulling with a superchip

I was just wondering if anyone had some input on whether it is safe to pull a heavy camper on tow-performance mode on a superchips programmer with a 6-speed? Is this warning more for autos or wut?

Just watch your temps. I town on the hottest tune I have. And the super chip shouldnt add enough to hurt anything.

Assuming you have an EGT gauge pull away.

If you dont have an EGT gauge remove the tuner until you do. Period.

watch your etgs anything over 1200 isnt good keep it below 1200 and you'll be fine but if you dont have a etg gauge put it on stock mode dont try to run that super chip without a gauge when towing

Edge suggests to install theirs in the left exhaust manifold, as rearward as possible. That is where I have mine in my work truck, 2006 F550 6.0L Auto, 17,000 lb service truck.
