Question TW Chip Owners Check In Here!!!

I'm counting down the days for the TW chip, & it's killing me! I know Tony's busy, & I know there are a lot of threads, vids, & pics of Wildman performance. But for my own record, what can I expect? Here are the settings I chose: 1 stock 2 daily 3 lt. tow 4 hi idle 5 street 6 extreme. Give me as much feedback as you can! I'm @ the hands of anticipation!!!!

Expect to be amazed. That's about the only way to explain it. I suggest your first put it in extreme, pull out of your driveway, hammer it, and hold on

Like Bryan said expect to be amazed you won't even feel like you are driving the same truck, it wakes it up so much. Wait till you get on that extreme setting you will be amazed. I've had a TS and edge evo before the TW chip and they look like little childs toys compared to the TW chip it outperforms all the other chips and programmers in my opinion for 7.3s hands down

I'm disconnecting the Six-Gun tuner & just leaving it as a pyrometer(I love it's location too). The Big Hoss module is being sold to a friend, the K&N/Banks drop-in filter is soon being replaced with an S&B intake. Everything else in my sig stays unless, of course, if there's going to be an issue with the TransCommand.

Man, that rocks! These are thing I love to see. If I had known about TW sooner, I never would've bothered with the Banks electronics!

yeah i ordered mine the other day and can't wait for it to show up too.
the Ts is good but with the injectors and generic tunes i only use the first power setting and egts get awful high when towing.

It isn't a good idea to use a Transcommand. You don't want programming to play with trans pressures. Get a BTS or John Wood VB and let TW tune tune it.

Somebody suggested putting it in xtreme and hammering it? Dang man! I am amazed at putting it in Daily and hammering it. It's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

I got: Stock, Economy, Daily, Tow, Heavy Tow, & Street. I would be afraid to put it in Xtreme after running the Street tune!
