I got my chip in the other day and stock, high idle, daily and extream work great. but econo has less power than stock and street race feels like stock
would not cleaning the silicone off the pcm well enough cause this?

If those 3 work good, then thats probably just how your truck responds to the programming. How do you like the extreme?

hell ya.

Well it sounds like thats just the nature of those tunes on your truck. Every truck responds a bit differently to different tunes and mods.

Have you ever raced your dads 6.0 w/ your 7.3, either stock or modded?

i found that without all the silicon properly removed the truck dies at stop lights and you need a friend to tow you back to work lol (bad experience) the daily tune on my truck feels extremely "peppy" as well compared to the extreme to me. but i am afraid of how long my trans will last especially since my converter is already shuttering and acting up. luckily a new billet is on the way. It's probably just how your truck is setup with the tunes. extreme could be too much for it's own good on a stock truck?

no TW will tune for the trans. But ANY stock trans is "shakey" when pushing more power than stock.
