Question what did U have adjusted with your nelson tune?

i was wondering what everyone had adjusted on there nelson tunes?

i've had mine for a while now and have put 6,000 miles on the truck. im thinking about getting my tune updated, seeing how im still saving for the 6.0. i want to get my tow/haul setting adjusted but im not sure as to what else i can adjust.

i told him to tune everything i have in my sig, plus remove 100% engine TM, and i think it was 50% trans. o2 sensors turned off, speed limiter off, shift points at 5900RPMs.

so far i going to have him take of my EGR. im looking to have a tune that will help on gas for regular driving then have my tow/haul mode be a performance tune.

thanks for any imput.
Lance

I just had to adjust tranny line pressure because of the shift kit. I hate driving long distances and my house is 250 miles away from Allen's place.

what I would like to get from Allen on my tune.

2 stage tune.
stage 1 the basic stuff
no tm
bring out the cam
pressure increase for longer trans life
a firm shift just a little faster not much
93 Oct tune better gas mileage on road trip

stage 2 tow / haul button
big pressure increase
hard shift and very fast
TC lock up
93 gas hog tune for performance and 10 psi

I read recently that the Tow/Haul button can only be programmed to control transmission functions and no engine functions such as octane tables or timing. So tow/haul can be programmed to control shift points, line pressure, shift speed?, converter lock up, etc. but you will still be on the PCM engine management of the regular tune.
