Default upgrades for towing?!?!?!?

I am really close to purchasing a few upgrades. I have a four gauge pillar and am already running the power pup tuner. I would like to get a big head waste gate and WWII(wicked wheel II) along with the ts 6 position chip?? would these three upgrades help in my towing? or should I just go with a TS6 position chip and call it a day??

Get a TS or hydra, the waste gate is a waste of money and I personally wouldn't put money into a stock turbo

is the TS better than the Hydra? thanks for the response, that just helps me not spend unnecessary money I see you have tunes from tyrant. Do they do good work? and would I just send my chip to them?

the hydra is a updated TS, the tuner sends you the tunes and you load them yourself.

i haven't updated my signature in a while, tyrant isn't around anymore and i and running new tunes now. i would recommend gearhead or wildman tunes

I have been doing mad research on Gear head and Wildman and I am torn on which one to Purchase. One is 50$ more than the other one and both are a good 150 or 160 more than just getting a TS 6 position chip with the dial

They are both good tuning. Spend the extra money and do not get canned TS tunes. You will be way happier in the end

well I spent the extra money and got the tony wild man chip. I just did a bit a reading and I hope that is custom tuned? It was more expensive than just buying a TS 6 position that you can just get from anyone.
