Same here. It's not much of a power boost (no surprise, that only happens with turbos) but the transmission remapping actually lets it rev out some.

That’s good to hear. I just put 33s on mine and at altitude… it struggles. Been looking pretty hard at OTT.
Went with standard plus, so it’s mild and throttle response is not overly sensitive.
YotaWerx most aggressive here. Running 33s and living in the hills. The tune made hill and mountain driving livable. The GX transmission could still use some work, but the tune made it so I no longer want to wreck the truck every time I have to go uphill.

Yay winch! 90 lbs is heavy.
I have the medium OTT tune with 33s (285/70/17s) plus the extra weight of front/rear bumpers, skids, sliders, etc.
I think with my setup, its dealers choice between the mild or medium throttle response . I'm enjoying the medium and think it feels like a good sports car throttle. It is responsive, but not snappy and allows for pretty precise modulation with my ballerina-esque size 13s.
should be 60-70 once synthetic line is on

You DO have the synthetic, right?
I've had both, currently mounted is a SmittyBilt X2O-10K (waterproof), and I'll NEVER have wire cable line again on a winch! Between the weight, wire splinters, not floating (when the line is in the water), and dangers when it snaps, don't know why anyone would ever get a winch with wire cable.

With all due respect, how much was your winch? It is a 10k lb winch, right? I couldn't get all the winch info off your photo.
My winch on Amazon was less than the current price of $576.19, since I purchased it seven years ago.
But still, it's waterproof AND comes with synthetic line! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K150VAI?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1
Unless you have money to burn, really love Warn, or it came with a no return policy, if it were me, I'd return it for the SmittyBilt.

Smittybilt compressors are definitely problematic. My experience with the compressor was so bad I also have a bad taste in my mouth for their products.
Being an Inside Track Club member at HF, I'll likely just snag a Badlands 12,000 for ~$400-500 when they have a mega-sale and it's close to winch time. The Bandlands seems to get rave reviews and I'm not sure there is a cheaper winch out there which is also so lauded.

Almost everyone in my club uses some variety of Warn. When I realized the VR 10s were so inexpensive, it was an easy decision.
I'm running 31.6" (265/70R17). I went with the mildest throttle remap OTT has. It's still a little touchy right off idle in some circumstances. If I had access to tuning software I'd fix it, but it's not terrible. I hated the Throttle Commander even in the mildest mode. I like a progressive throttle, especially on a vehicle that's supposed to be operated on low traction surfaces. Other people may have different ideas.
when I bought my winch last year, the 90 day warranty for HF deterred me. I understand you can get extended warranty, but once that cost was added, it was the same cost as the Superwinch 10k winch with synthetic rope, which is what I ultimately choose.
I experimented with a throttle controller and also didn't like it. It just felt like the throttle position was condensed into less pedal travel - like if you pushed the gas pedal 70% of the way down, that was full throttle and the last 30% of pedal travel didn’t do anything.
I thought the factory tuning was progressive to a fault. It was definitely smooth, but felt like the first bit of pedal travel didn't do anything and that was made worse with the 33s.
MTS still changes the throttle response in certain modes, or at least in Mud/Sand so I have that in the toolbox if the OTT is ever too snappy for conditions. I didn’t have any issues with digging when I was playing around in deep sand on the 4x4 beach but Baja Bosses at 15psi may be very forgiving.

I grew up driving 22Rs so even with 34s the acceleration is suffeceient at altitude.

Hasn't let me down yet.
Funny thing, I actually had to use it on our seven day camping trip a couple weeks ago.
We were just about to the Sierra foothills and stopped at this gas station to fill up and let the grand kiddies stretch their legs. It was hot, low triple digits.
In the gas station parking lot, this guy was trying to push his wife's dead Cadillac up, onto a U-Haul auto trailer, the full size auto carrier type, not one of those, drag-the-rear wheels type. I'm looking at him trying several times to get enough coasting speed to get the front wheels up the ramp and onto the level trailer. Even if he did get the front wheels on the trailer, not sure how he'd get the rear wheels up the ramps.
After about his second or third time, I offered to winch him. He looked at me a little puzzled at first, till he saw my rig. I pulled my rig next to his truck (the tow vehicle), but facing the trailer, and pulled out some winch line. Fortunately he already had a recovery ring on the bumper, so I didn't have use soft shackles or anything on the control arms. Clipped onto that recovery ring, and in about 3 minutes, pulled his wife's Caddy safely onto the trailer. Easy-peasy!
He offered to buy us drinks or whatever from the gas station market, but we were fine.

I'm confused... where is the magnesium chloride coming from?
