    Hey all I have a Nelson tune in my 68 SWB truck and needless to say it is amazing. This truck is probably around 1000 lighter than my Tahoe so it gets it pretty good.
    My question is regarding my 2004 Tahoe Well as you can imagine they dont even seem like the same engine where this needs help is towing I have a boat probably 5000 pounds I tow on occasion with the tow/haul button pushed this thing falls on its face when it shifts to second gear (TM at its best) What types of gains has everybody seen in a towing situation. I reallly would like to pickup a couple MPG too. Since I have my "hotrod" I dont need this to be as aggressive plus my wife drives it mostly I dont need her smokin everbody she sees

    Any thoughts for my situation.
