TW Chip ?

I was wondering if anyone knew what the difference is between the "Tow" and "Heavy Tow" settings are?

Is it based on the weight of what your towing?

I pull around 11K and not sure if I need just one or both of these tow settings?

Perhaps your best bet would be to contact Tony to see specifically what he programed for you. What I suggest is to pull on familiar roads and do it with both programs at same RPM and watch EGT's to see what works best for you. This is assuming that you have a multi-program chip.

Not sure in the differnt setting but 11K would be considered "heavy" 5-6K is usually considered regular tow weight.
