Default Edge Evolution and Towing

I have searched and I did not see anything about this.

I currently tow my TT in Level 2 towing in my Edge Evo.
Anyone see any advantage or problem with towing my TT running 91 octate and level 3 of my Edge Evo.
Im just curious if it will provide better (not that its needed) towing?
Now that 87 is right at $3 a gallon thinking of putting 91 in to see how it goes.

comments, quesions, any remarks welcome.

It says specifically in the edge manual to not tow in level 3.

When I'm towing I leave it at level two but put Premium 91+ in it and bump the timing to 2.0* and up the WOT Fuel. Has the same effect.

Thanks i did not realize that. What do you set your WOT to? And does that improve your towing?

The level 2 tune is specifically written for towing so I would stick with that tune. The only thing I do while towing my 30' TT is turn the shift pressure up 10 so it grabs the gears better.

I up my WOT Fuel to about 1.5-1.55 when towing a trailer so in those highway merging situations I can get plenty of fuel in there when it downshifts.
