Smarty JR Arrived......
I first installed the Economy setting, which I believe to be the SW # 1 : 40 Hp increase version.
Took it around the block, and I did notice a very slight increase. Smoother acceleration and the EGTs were right around stock. Not all that impressed, because I wanted more! I guess this is why it is called economy.
I then installed the Towing setting, which I believe to be the SW # 2 : 70 Hp increase version. This was very different with an immediate increase in power. From a dead stop it pulls to 60 mph instantly.
I did notice that the EGTs went up abount 100 degrees more, than stock.
Before, I was never able to get an EGT temp over 900. Now, when getting on it decently hard, 900 was regularly seen.
I did not even try flooring it, because I knew I would break traction.
I am going to run the SW # 2 : 70 Hp increase version for a while and see how it does.
I will definately try the Performance setting, which is the SW # 3 : 100 Hp increase tune.
According to Bob, for the torque levels, it is roughly double the numer of the HP setting.

I just installed the JR on my 04.5 and it smokes alot, especially on the 70 h.p. setting. I have not tried the 100 h.p. setting yet. I am hoping it will lower my egt when I am towing. I had the Bully Dog before and was seeing very high egt's.

Not seeing hardly any smoke. Maybe a tiny little bit if I look in my blind spot on my towing mirrors. Even on the 100 hp setting.
Happy with mine, however I definitely want to upgrade to the senior after I get a new converter.

Well, I could not wait and loaded the #3 100 HP tune today.
It seems like the #2 setting has better overall power, throughout the RPM level.
#3 is very powerful, just does not seem to have the low end power that #2 has.
Anyone else think #2 is better than #3?

#2 or the 70 hp is my favorite, I have driven all three setting for a month each and the 70 H.P. is the one for towing and daily driving. Ive been very happy with the Jr. great product!!
