Power programming

I just bought a hypertech power tuner and chose the firmer shift transmission setting. Is it better to have that setting all the time or just when you are pulling a trailer?

Re: Power programming

Firmer usually means it's shortening the shift duration which is done by reducing slip/friction which means less heat. Less heat is always a good thing. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
