I know this has been asked a million times but does anyone have any dyno numbers on the tow tune? I would like a good performing daily drive tune that i can tow with. I realize other companies offer this tune but LM has provided a great product to me in the past and i see no reason to switch.

Just post the tow tune gains!!!

Thank you, I guess I better call Rick.

Default WOT problems

I have the Livernois and run the 87 tune. Before I complain, I'll say that I love my tuner and noticed plenty of power gain and around 2mpg gain.

No matter if from a stand still or at 40mph, If i punch on it full throttle my truck shakes like my timing is off. If I let off the gas the shake goes away but as soon as I touch the gas the shake returns. Once I stop and shut the truck off and restart the truck it is fine, until I go WOT then the problem comes back. Is any one else having this problem?

I don't see how an internet update can give our current device 4X the memory space. I thought for sure we would have to swap the mycal for an upgraded one.

I would call and talk to Rick. I have ran both the performance and 87 tow tunes with zero problems as well as many others. I would tune back to stock personally until Rick can either look at your tune or figure out if it's something else.

I have towed many times with the 93 performance tune many times although it was a 10x8 sled bed which is aluminum and had about 1500lbs on the trailer pluss the 800lb trailer . No problem, and hey if i melt a cat gives me a reason to go high perf cats... But if your hauling something 5000lb or higher i would probably go with the tow tune... Espeically since the diameter of the headers is the size of a quarter..

Any more word on update? I don't mean to rush it, just excited. Rick said very close, 10 days ago.
