I think the best bang for the buck would be a reflashed PCM from jody, about a 60hp tow setting should do. Think it's $75 plus your PCM, not sure if he's got an exchange program available. Look at http://www.dp-tuner.com/

If your gonna be towing you really need an EGT gauge.

You can send your PCM or have him send you a PCM and you send him back your old one.
