yeah, but what revision are you on??

in the newer revision, they removed those other 2 settings and just turned 'em off by default in the tune, to take the guesswork out of it for users... and they just left the 3rd option there for ya...

Turn your TCM option to off, boost up your pressures to 25, and try it again.

Why do you want to powerbrake anyways? Is that some kind of status thing or something? Performance is shown by raw numbers not how much smoke you can make come from your tires while at a dead stop.

it's not really that i want to power brake i would just like to come off the line faster, if i put it tow mode it's a little better. i was just hopeing there was something i was missing.

there shouldnt be any difference in power from being in tow mode. it just changes the way the tranmission shifts.
