Did you do a 0-60 run with the performance tune to compare it to the run you did with the tow tune? I think that would be the best way to compare the two tunes. Then you can compare what you are getting out of both settings in terms of real numbers.

teach i did the 0-60 tow got 7.3 i set her up like this 1-2 at 5930 2-3 at 5850
now the performance tune i just put in and tested minites ago... 0-60 6.83
like i said the tow tune seems to get more low end bite the performance tune gets more hi end. i dont know about you but i like to tap the throttle and she goes i get that with the tow tune not the performance, now i do get it with the performance tune but not when your tooling around only when you are in a speed zone where you can go fast like the highway.

I have mine set up at 6150 for both the 1-2 shift as well as the 2-3 shift. I do like the tap the throttle and have the truck move too. I have never really had any problem at the low end with the performance tune but maybe I will try out the tow tune one time just to see what it is like for driving around town. That is the only option I haven't used yet bc I don't really ever tow anything.

Tom, I was wondering if you have an eta for any of the new features yet? Like the tb relearn and the tranny options that I know we all can't wait to get our hands on. Thanks in advance for any info you can pass along to us. There are a lot of guys on here who can't wait to try some of these new features out

I run the performance tune, but Marty at KRC has often recommended I try the tow tune, he likes it for a heavy (QC 4x4). I feel my 4.56 gears let me have the same feel with the performance tune that the stretched out shift points of the tow tune gives. I've only used the tow tune after hooking up to a heavy load, so I have no idea what it would feel like with no trailer and an empty bed. May have to try it myself...

Talking

....im as anxious (and patient) as alot of the other guys awaiting some of the more advanced options. Having an extensive mod list I really didn't want to have to 'graduate' to a tuner that allows customizing options (only because I love my sc...and still have it despite having the other tuner as well)...I am happy to see that more performance orientated options are coming....
