What is the point? The point is that if you run a 6 gun then you really know nothing about how EFI works. I run alot more than a 50 hp tune and get 22mpg with no smoke. EFI Live is the same kind of program that the people at Banks use to write the programs that you are so happy with. It's all about how it's tuned. Idaho Rob, Pat McSwain, Mike Myers, Duramaxtuner.......All people that can tune a duramax better, faster, cleaner and safer than banks could ever think of. Just because you could never understand how it's done is no reason to put down the ideas behind it. Again, learn about what your talking about before you comment a second time. Punctuation would also help if you continue to post.

my tow tune is my favorite daily drive tune because it runs a little more egt's than stock, has 350rwhp, and gets great mileage for such a small tune.

my tow tune actually has less boost at 65 than my stock tune does, but maxes out at 26psi while stock is around 24psi. Also, you can lower your desired boost levels at cruising speed to help in MPG's. now, at 65, i cruise at 2psi instead of 6psi with the same tune.
Quite the PW Brian How that tune running with less boost ?

Buck not sure what makes a tow tune a tow tune, depending on your Mods a tow tune could be 550 rwhp But if you tow alot you would like the turbo brake

Banks uses EFILive to write the tunes you are running.

Guys, just look at some of his statments, he has 4 posts and no truck in his sig. Oh yeah and he has a 6 Gun and is comparing to EFI, C'mon buddy get your shit together and do some real "research" then come talk to us, I bet my truck with a 500+ rwhp tune will smoke less and get better mileage than your turd with a 6 Gun!!!! Look around these forums a little, you will see lots of EFI tuned trucks doing unbelievable things!!

I am not bashing Banks or their stuff, it is all top notch stuff but his 6 six gun or any other off the shelf tuner that they sell are not comparable to a sysytem like EFI Live.
