Since mine is all mechanical I don't change it. I have no idea what I am putting to the ground. Summer, winter doesn't matter I wouldn't change it if I could.
Dad's 06 we just used a bully dog programmer and set it on performance, been that way for two years now, summer or winter.

With my mods and XZT+ off usually (too cold up here to run timing = bucking). So with my injectors, turbo and air filter/exhaust...probably a whooping 300HP maybe LOL.

I ran on level 5 for the past few years until a few months back when I wondered what it would be like to run on level 1. Since I went to level 1 I haven't gone back to 5 because the truck just seems to drive a lot smoother. My mileage hasn't increased any but I like the lower power for drivability.

When I drove the dually daily, it was north of 450hp. Now that the 12v is the daily, its around 425hp or so. No pushing buttons to turn them down, I just use the right foot.

I run around with the Adrenaline on PL 2. That puts me somewhere between 350 and 390 hp. Truck runs smooth, plenty of power, and very little if any unintentional smoke. Good mileage, and max boost around 38psi when I really get on it.
No sense running around with all 499 HP, not enough traction to use it till you're over 50 mph.

I run with my TST on level 3 and of course the EZ is always on along with the Mach 4s. Probably north of 400hp I'm sure. Anything higher than 3 on the TST and street driving gets touchy. Especially in wet weather.

Flatbed24v, The trick when running against another diesel is to bring on enough HP to put on a big hurt on him/her. These trucks are reliable at what ever HP level you want to run, its just the nasty ford gremlins at work at night when the truck is parked. They want to get even with ya...
