Follow up question, and maybe there is a post on this already, but adding my tires circumfrence in mm???? I have 275/60/20 which double check me, but that should be a circumfrence of 103.6". Then just convert that to mm???
So far I like the programmer, i can tell in the trans shifting for sure. Not so sure on the power, but the 87 tow does have good low end torque.

Those be 33" tahrs, eh?
( BTW, Falken's site lists these as: 275/60R20 = 33X10.50R20 )
Reckon the cipherin' be as sich:
33 inches x pi (3.14159) x 25.4 (inches to mm conversion) = circumference without weight on the tires. That initially gives ye: 2633.28 mm
Now - Multiply thet thar result by 0.97 to account fer the usual 3% "squish" caused by weight (hefty, aight?) which will give ye a real good startin' point of 2554 mm. Fine tune 'er 'til the Programmer's display speed (not the truck speedo) agrees with a GPS, if'n yall can.
Make sure yer Gear Ratio is correct whenever ye open thet thar custom options menu. It might need to be changed.
Good luck

At highway speeds? That's more of a problem for dragsters, methinks, lol.
3% is just a 'median' starting point - squish can vary by tire carcass construction, inflation pressures and tire temperatures - and as you noted, speed.
The factors used are all compromises because tire diameter is so dynamic. Not worth being overly concerned aboot - that's why confirmation/correction by external means is advisable.
