tuned EB

Just wondering how many of you are running a programmer in your EB? How's the fuel mileage and performance? I'm not looking to hit the track or anything, mostly looking for a little more as far as shifting and down low response.
Also what style are you running? Not sure which unit to go with, I do want a unit that allows to switch between tunes easily if needed.
thanks

Using a Livewire TS in my 2014 and have tried several tuners out there. Best one for me was SSI - truck is just a blast to drive, lots of power down low and great for traffic passing. I don't race - just want a great truck to drive. Shifting with SSI tunes is the smoothest of any tune I've tried and better than stock. Mileage is good and even a little better than stock if I can just keep my right foot off the fun pedal! Super easy to switch tunes with the Livewire - just need a PC at home (or Mac running bootcamp or parallels). SSI is working on the 2015 tunes - best to contact them for details for your truck. There is no better performance mod. for the money with these engines than a tune.

What do you do if you need to go to the dealer? Is the unit easy to remove if needed?

The Livewire saves the stock tune, so you just flash back to stock (takes less than 10 minutes), unplug the tuner & head to the dealer. The unit does not need to be permanently mounted and has a single wire plugged into the diagnostic port under the steering wheel. Super easy to remove.
