    Do you have a V2 to flash in tunes, or are you looking for a tuner. I'm guessing you currently have longhorn since you said it has a smoke tune, and that's there signature tune. If you have a V2, I've got a tune I can send you. And a turbo brake tune for towing is worth it's weight in gold imho. You will be pleasantly surprised at how much less brake application is required.

    Would love to see a copy of the tow tune, been researching and learning what does what with the v2 and need some real good tunes to look and go with to help learn for my own tuning, thanks

    Do some googling, and you will find the answers for putting a turbo brake in the tune.

    For towing, smartly increase the torque limits, smooth all of the tables, make sure full fueling is able to be achieved. At least this is my practice.

    I'm in south central OH. I do some tuning and could probably help out with a mild tune and/or towing tune, but I'm not real comfortable pushing the limits for a race tune.
