PPE tune..?

I'm about to get a PPE standard and was wondering what level it's safe to run it on. Is the 130hp setting safe? Or should i go lower? Keep in mind i don't really romp my truck too much...

I would run the 120 or lower setting. There tunes are at the flywheel, so there is a 15-20% drivetrain loss.

I may just be lucky, but I run the 160 tune on a stock trans and haven't felt any slips. I always bring it down to the 90 tune if I tow though. The 160 is a night and day difference from the Superchips programmer I used to have, the "performance" tune on it was around 85hp I think.

Good to hear. I run the bully dog i have on 120 and it moves pretty good. I'm hoping the PPE shifts smoother and faster tho...

Yeah I definitely noticed that it shifted better, especially smoother during normal driving. It shifts faster during WOT runs too

The PPE will shift night and day better. But be sure to do a proper tranny relearn once you install the PPE tuner.

PS: If you're still looking for a PPE tuner, I can sell you one
