The only close option would be hptuners, but their site says no support for it.

Ya, it would wake up with a tune and gears.

We have an '09 v6 truck here, we can't tune it because it's not supported, so we're doing the next best thing, ripped everything out and putting in a 383 stroker and 80e lol.

what would gears do for it power wise (feel) and what ratio would be best I have 275/55-20's on it. I got out run by a Ford Escape, very embarassing!

Gears are the quickest way to increase acceleration. Ive seen around or up to 50hp increase by doing this. Im goin 4.10 in mine and dont think higher rpms kills gas mileage. Speed is what kills your mileage.
