I run an SCT tuner with tunes from 5 star tuning. With the V-10 it made a significant improvement in towing. Mine came with 3 different tunes, towing, perf. and economy. And can be had in any octane rating. I have the 3 tunes in the 89 octane. When towing now it is much more relaxed because the trans shifts better and it holds O/D longer and raises the shift points and line pressure. I can also change any parameter i want to tailor it to my specific needs. It also adds 15HP in the towing mode. I gained .7 mpg towing too. You have to understand how a tuner works to use them properly. The generic tuners won't do much for you. But when you get a custom tuner tailored to your specific vehicle it works great.
dodge guy, i see you have a couple of other mods. i am guessing that the performance mods you have all work in harmony to give you your overall experience. do you recall if the mods were all done at the same time, or different times?
just to say, did you make all of the changes together to achieve your gains, or had some changes been made, and the gains were achieved after the tuner was added to the mix?
also, do you remember what you paid (roughly) for your tuner?
thanks.
