Banks claims 155 hp and 350 lb/ft at level 6 on the lb7 engine. Of course, I don't pin it all the time, and drive conservatively. So what benefit do you get with a lower tune setting? For me, I see better numbers on the higher tunes.

Heat soak.

The benifit from a lower hp tune, is well, lower everything. lower fuel etc.
I dont understand when people tow on high levels just do to it. I have a built trans and I tow stock, im not in a hurry to get where im going, but thats just me.
