It does sounds BA, but i would want my truck to lope cuz its a fire breathing monster. As far as a tune......i guess, if you cant afford to make your truck sound like that cuz it is a monster....here's your alternative. But the question i have is, is a tune like that hard on stuff??
Be warned I will probably make fun of ya after I hear what ya have to say...

Like, dislike, whatever, here's my honest .02. I (and I'm sure other's as well) would rather have ANY manufacture be putting the money into R&D of something that will ACUTALLY help my truck perform better. i.e. more horsepower, fuel economy, efficiency, etc.
With this being said, I would be surprised if Marco (MADS) is going to be putting the time/energy = money into producing such a 'lope' tune that doesn't offer anything to the benefit of the truck/user.

I think that any engine loping at idle is super cool... IF THE MOTOR IS BUILT TO THE POINT THAT IT HAS TO LOPE! I'm not cool with the mimic of performance. If that's the case, buy a ricer Honda and go to town.
Note: I have an '89 VW sitting in my garage that lopes at idle. Most people thinks it sounds broken. To me it sounds like 276* cams and 12:1 compression out of a 16v 4-cyl.
I love the way that car sounds, mainly because I know that the car can back up the sound.
