U7170 tuner question

So I have the old U7170 and I would like to know how many custom tunes I can fit on it without having to upgrade? Also, would it be possible to remove the tow tun and 60hp tune as I do not use those? Thanks guys!


PS.. does anyone have a 140hp tune for the U7170?



2002 Ford F350 7.3L Powerstroke

An older U7170 will only hold 1 custom tune.
No way to remove the canned tunes, no.

Not sure I follow your question.

the tool comes preloaded with 3 tunes, the highest being for 110 hp.

Thanks

Basically, I want to know if anyone can make me a 140HP tune for cheap that I can add to this tuner.

I dont know about 'cheap'...you tend to get what you pay for with custom tunes ;)

Thanks

So I tried out the 100HP tune and it seems to be putting out MUCH less black smoke then my 85HP tune. Will it just take some to to get more black smoke and have the engine get used to the 100hp or no? This is my first programmer software update ever so I am guessing the new tunes vs old tunes have a major difference in smoke due to new environment laws? Can someone explain this.

the fact that it smokes less means it is working properly and burning all the fuel efficiently, and you are getting all the power you can from the fuel being burned...

Yes I know that but from what I've been told is the 100HP has more smoke for when those annoying bicycle riders are in the middle of the road or when I get in front of a prius. By chance do you have the first firmware from the u7170 programmer? Way back from 2003?
