Default 3.7l tuners

Has anyone heard of a chip for the 3.7l? I got to play with the new edge CTS tuner today and loved it, I'd love to have one for my pickup but they don't have one for the 3.7. I love my truck, tows my smaller boat great and gets good MPG, but this summer I'd like to take some longer trips with my boat and a small camper but I'm afraid it won't get the job done. I have a cold air intake and full exhaust on it now and that helped a ton, but I'm always looking for more. I'm running a 6 speed manual if that makes any difference.
Thank you,
James

the hypertech chip Is in beta testing right now. I was asked to test but they wanted me to pay to test it. They currently have one for the V8.

Did you notice any mpg gain with the tuner?

Are these numbers Dynoed or theoretic... they are some big gains for a V6 from just tuning

I have an 07 with the 3.7 and a 6-speed manual transmission, are the numbers any different? Is there any MPG gain?

I am also very interested in these numbers as well. Either the 3.7L has horribly low timing advance, or is dumping fuel at WOT.

From the website, they look like actual chassis dyno comparisons.
