You might call Hesco in Birmingham. They are pretty well-known for higher end work but they might be able to do a thorough tune for you.

They can be hard to come by, you could look into swapping your computer out for Holley, Haltech, or a few others. I went with the Haltech and have been happy with it thus far.

Spinning the tires will get you in situations like this....not ideal, careful out there!

Try TPIS.com. they have 5 stages of ECM tuning. I'm at stage 3. I had a chip in it before I started using there services. What a difference it made. It's a little pricey but well worth it.

The high gears combined with wide tires and low engine torque is your problem.
