Default EFI Live tune using turbo as exh brake

I see that DURAMAXTUNER.COM has a tow tune which uses the turbo as an exhaust brake like the BANKS unit does. Has anyone tried the EFI Live version this yet ?

havn't towed with it, but it sure seems to pull the truck down to speed better than just the stock t/h

I have some of my own but for the turbo brake im using Nick's script, it seems to work pretty good on my LBZ, but im wondering if i can tune it for more exhaust brake action.... im just too busy or lazy to mess with it LOL

You might be able to but I don't know how nick has his set. The big problem is the super smart Ally and its down shifting. Not sure on the LLY but on the LBZs your can do much to raise the down shift points so we have to run it in manual mode which you don't have.

meh Im quite content to keep my EFI, banks can suck my soot I did notice that when manually shifting with the 6-speed that it makes a huge difference than T/H, it really hauls down to turtles pace, and you dont really hear any more noise, just a little more turbo whistle while the engine slows down

yeah cause the vane position is closed so much it chokes the engine a little when downshifting you let off the throttle, the banks one does a little more than that
