Get matt@ gearhead or other tuners to write tunes for you. Tell them what you want and whats done to your truck and they will hook you up

Yep. You can keep 3 tunes loaded on your SCT. What happens is most guys end up running with something like street or extreme street daily (these offer great power and the best mileage anyways) and any time you need to tow something, just load up a tow tune and you're good to go. Your 04, depending on if it's an early or late 04 wont take more than 5 minutes to load a tune. I believe 03/04's take about 4 1/2-5 minutes to load, and 04.5+ take about 2 minutes.

Yeah both places are great, can't go wrong with either one. I've used Innovative a lot, I will be trying Gearhead next time just to say I did. I haven't heard a bad thing about either.

Im sure for the most part majority of the well known tuners are the same minus some little tweaks. I can barely tell a difference between SRL+ and Looney wild.

It's small things. Really small things a lot of times. Each has their own style though and not one tuner will please every individual. They can always tweak things to your liking's too!
