my truck
I want to get a programer again just don`t know which one, had a bully dog power pup it worked good, but I was afraid of killing my tranny.I just hit 11500 and I don`t know how much the tranny will take.I am a stickler for ,maint. I change the engine oil every 5000, trans every 15000 and diffs every 30000.I want to keep this truck as long as I can.Plus I keep my EGT under 1200 when towing,but I tow my 30ft. toy hauler 80 to 85 mph so I can build momentum to get up mountains fast on I70 LOL.

My truck is built to tow and it does great. I have a manual, so I upgraded the clutch, have head studs, valve springs, 90hp injectors, twin turbo's (stock over S475), air dog, Smarty, TST, 30% over CP3. Last time I spun the rollers it made 575 without the larger CP3 and I was out of fuel for sure. I towed a friends pulling truck up that day and back, just changed the Smarty tune from 5 to 9 for the dyno then back to 5 for the ride home. With the twins you barely know the trailer is behind you and never have an EGT issue.
I suggest an upgraded VB and TC for your trans, then an Edge with gauges and a mileage and towing tune. Even with that few on modifications twins would work great for you, build your own set though, no reason to spend the money for a pre-built set that you would have to modify anyway.
