max towing power.
Is there anyone out there that is maxing their towing capabilities? If so, did you use a power programmer to boost performance? How well did it work for you? Thanks for any help.

Hi adt,
What I would suggest is to use the search feature (the icon is in the upper right area of your screen here) here, as it is powerful & easy to use. You will see literally *hundreds* of posts from people who have installed the Superchips Micro Tuner and reported back their results. Some of them are pure performance-oriented, some are related strictly to towing, and some reference both, etc. There's quite a bit of great info directly from the people that shelled out their hard-earned bucks, saying exactly what they really think, that should give you a lot of helpful feedback.
You mentioned the "power programmer," that is actually made by Hypertech, and isn't a very good product in terms of the actual improvement to either power or performance in these4 vehicles. It's generic, meaning it's compromised to run on all similar vehicles, so it doesn't tune each vehicle individually according to it's original computer code, and it only adds power at full-throttle, the rest of the time it does nothing to increase engine power.
The Superchips tuning in the Micro Tuner does a much better job, as it's not generic, every vehicle is tuned exactly according to it's individual PCM revision, and is tuned for maximum horsepower & torque *all* the time, at any throttle position or rpm, and is still 50-state emissions certified, and it's the only product of it's kind that does all of that.
Take your time checking out the responses from others here, and of course, please feel free to give us a call if you'd like to go over this in more detail, discuss your situation, exactly where you want your performance, what you can realistically expect from the Superchips Micro Tuner, etc.
Good luck with your truck,
