I've got a few numbers here for anyone interested. First, this weekend at the track I ran a 15.29 in my highest setting (15.22 is my best so far). I then put it in the stock position to see what kind of a difference the chip was making and ran a 17.35. I guess the chip helps out a little bit, lol! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Also, I towed a lifeboat for about 4 hours today and have some readings off of it. This is what I was pulling:

The boat weighs 3500lbs. and the trailer is aobut 1600lbs.
These were my readings while towing the boat in my highest setting (140hp) about an hour into the trip:
gauge pic, boat and trailer
Going up steep bridges that went over the Mississippi and Intracoastal Waterway, I was able to keep it at 65mph without going over 1100deg., and the Intracoastal bridge is pretty friggin' tall and steep.
These readings are on the way back with just the trailer:
gauge pic, trailer only
No problems at all towing that small load in my highest setting with the DI chip. I'm going to get my gooseneck hitch put in sometime next month to pull our 40' trailer. Then we'll see where I need to put the chip with a 28,000lb. gross weight!
