• Reduces boost pressure and keeps RPMs low to save fuel.
• Ideal for stop-and-go traffic but not recommended for highway use.

Transmission-Only Tunes

• Improves transmission performance without altering engine power.
• Provides firmer, quicker shifts and holds gears longer for better drivability.
• Perfect for drivers seeking improved control without additional power.

Specialized Tunes

• Ethanol-Based Tunes (e30, e50, e85): Unlock maximum power with ethanol blends but require fuel availability and compatibility.
• Boostane Performance Tune: Optimized for use with Boostane additive to enhance octane and power.
• Tow Tune (85+ Tow): Specifically designed for heavy loads; adjusts torque and transmission for safe towing within factory limits.
• Adaptive Tune (85+ Adaptive): Learns and adjusts to driving habits over time for improved responsiveness.
• Economy Tune (85+ Economy): Focuses on fuel efficiency while maintaining smooth drivability.
• Transmission-Only Tune (85+ Transmission Only): Alters transmission behavior without affecting engine tuning; great for those wanting better shifts without power adjustments.
• Valet Tune: Limits engine power and speed for safer operation when someone else drives your truck.

Octane Levels and Recommendations

• Available in octane levels from 85 to 94 to match your fuel preferences.
