Also just for the sake of knowing, with each tune they are written as 25 hp tow (for example), how much torque would this provide extra with this tune. I know the best way find out would be a dyno and each truck is different but is there a ballpark estimate for each tune as to how much extra torque they provide. Thanks in advance.

All transmission functions are handled per-tune.

As far as the torque goes, when actually measured on a 7.3L, the torque increase will usually be about twice what the horsepower is.....as long as things like injection pressure are able to be maintained. However, measured torque means nothing when pulling a camper up a hill anyway (nor does it really matter at any time). A torque value is a useless number.
