For the price I would go Black Bear or Wheatley or Nelson Performance All of them are very good at what they do. I would save your self some money and go PCM tuning over hand held.

save myself money? how bout 125$...i mean anytime you go with the PCM tune they're wanting like a min. of 300$...especially considering i have no mods requiring any type of special tune anyway

dont even bother with a handheld...they are a complete waste of money!
The best bang for the buck will be a custom tune. a handheld is only good for changing shift points and gettin rid of your speed limiter. It doesnt help much with fueling, spark, torque management, etc. I have seen a loss in hp on dyno's with handhelds over a stock tune. Even on a stock truck a custom tune will do wonders! half a second gain isnt unheard of from just a tune on a stock truck.

Black bear is only 200 bucks. You might change your mind down the road and do something that needs a special tune.

good point...i know i WILL need to do a custom tune when i drop the 6.0 in her but i was really wanting the handheld to get rid of the speed limiter...no use for the shift point feature as i have a 5 spd. but if blackbear is really only that much i'm gonna probably go that route then thanks guys
