Computer upgrade for towing

What's a good cpu to get for better fuel mileage for towing. the truck is used 100% of the time to tow. I'm going to do the DPF delete probably with in the next month, but need something else to help the fuel economy till then. I'm also open to any other ideas you might have.

If your talking about a tuner, I have heard that the sct livewire and the superchips flashpaq are both great.

Any names you want to throw out there. In 2 months if the tuner get's me just 1 mile to the gallon will pay for itself twice over.

my flashpaq gets me 1-2 and it makes the truck a lot more drivable as far as the throttle modulation in town. Ialso have the dpf delete. That is awesome when towing. No more slow downs. I'm in it 775.00. 375 + 200 for dpf prog. + 200.for straight pipe muffler shop made. Not sure, but the dpf delete has to improve mpg while towing w/ no regens.
