I would like to know numbers here. From a dyno what is normal stock HP of an 05 envoy 4.2l and then on with a PCM4less tune. I pull about 3000lbs of boat and trailer, and it isnt really a problem for it, just would like more power and maybe more mpg if that happens with a tune.

here's a link to a dyno sheet from pcmforless...gains of about 17hp or so, but as you can see the powerband is much more even.

I have an 87oct tune on mine. The biggest improvement is with the tranny...much better shifting and down shifting characteristics (I would think you'd like that a lot while towing). MPG gained a little on the highway. It's $$ well spent IMO.
