I have previously just ran the 65 hp setting.. An then the 85 hp setting for a while... Now I am in the 100 hp setting as of today an good grief man.. I'm not even having to give it half throttle an its too much "in a good way." Plus on the 100 setting im getting all that good ole black smoke... Other then limping the tranny, "an how is that done just driving @ WOT all the time like a fool????" I have heard that it happens but never encountered it.. So what could be the drawbacks an am i eventually going to run into problems.. Keep in mind I'm no old lady behind the wheel but also not a 16 yr old.. Truck is a 05 with stage 2 intake an 4" turbo back MRBP...

U may need plastic surgery to wipe the smile off your face if u run it for toooooo long.

There are people running close to 500hp ALL the time and your in the low 300s.

Just start saving money for the alli fund.

you can run it no problem, just keep er maintained very well AND - Get the tranny done as you certainly have problems running high tunes without a built tranny !!

The only drawback that i have seen is the mass consumption of fuel. All in all i wouldnt drive in any other tune except 100hp unless i am towing. Im sure over time my fuel consumption will go down, but right now its just to much fun!

Don't forget the EXTREME tire wear!
