The question I have Iam towing race car trailer about 8000#. I would like to use Perf tow. But directions say not to.I know other guys that use other brand of chips on Hi setting with no trouble. Thanks for the help.:grd:

It's all about your right foot! It's about protecting your tranny and turbo. If you can "back out of it" during shifts and in top gear while watching the pyro to keep EGT's down, you should be fine. Try the user CP (upper RH corner) here to fill out a signature so we know a little about your truck!

In the User CP go to the 'edit signature' and add your info there. Use 'Perf Tow' only if you have the discipline to keep your foot out of it when towing. Otherwise use 'tow safe'. Sucks to limp a tranny.

I use Isspro guages. Look in the "specials" forum, looks like they have some on sale! What luck huh! I would recomend at least a pyrometer. Rumor has it one can roast a turbo with a stock tune towing.
