what makes a tow tune?

So its killing me that im not part of the cool crowd with EFI Live yet... so i figured i would start asking questions about it and start making a plan for when i get it and a trans.

First question. What makes a tow tune a tow tune? No need to give away trade secrets or anything just general info. Like how do you add Tq and HP and keep EGT's in check? Stuff like that.

great question. How much more horse power to how much weight can you do with a so called safe tow tune.

not a tuner but a tow tune runs more boost and therefore lower egt's.
