bad TW tunes

Hey guys just got my 175cc stock nozzle single shot injectors in and had tony wildman set up a chip for me ,stock-hi-idlel-heavy tow-daily-street-extreme......i told him everything that i have done to my truck but my tunes seem to be off. Stock has a lope, high idle has a lope, tow and daily seem the same and have almost no power unless im almost WOT but street and extreme are great. I cant get ahold of tony at all to try and fix this, any suggestions on some good custom tunes good for towing?

I haven't I haven't used tony, but i've read a lot of good things about his tunes. How long have you been trying to get a hold of him? I run DP-Tuner. I like it.

About a week or so, i love his street and extreme tunes but the rest all have to be fixed. I tow a lot and it seems like in the tow tune and daily tune im always reeming out the motor waiting for it to shift. Even with almost no weight it doesn't shift into OD untill im at almost 60 mph and at 2700 RPM

He told me he's going to be out of town the middle of this month. Maybe that's why he's hard to reach right now.

He's been out of town for work all of last week and just got back. Give him an e-mail or call tomorrow. In the afternoon around 3:30 or so seems to be a good time to catch him. The tow tunes have the OD shift extended out to 50-60 mph to keep the engine from lugging at 45 mph/1500 rpm's when pulling a load. But he can adjust it to where you want it. You should also notice the TC staying locked down to 35 mph or so while decelerating.

Yeah i like the way their set up but i think with my 4:10 gearing its a lil much. But the daily tune doesn't seem to be any different than the tow tune. I would like to know why my other tunes have a lope to them as to where i cant use them.

How long (miles) has it been since the injector install? Wondering if you might still have air in the system.

are you using the TS chip or the Hydra? Hydra he can e-mail you programs - TS chip has to be sent back in.

Hang in there, it will get squared away. Did you make sure your truck was 100% before powering up? More fuel and tunes in a truck with something a bit "off" can set up a situation where the tunes may or may not be able to compensate. Are the sticks new or remanned?
