Defintely go custom tune, no handheld can compare. There are a few sponsors on here, Nelson, Blackbear, and Wheatley. I personally go to Wheatley for all of my tuning and could not be happier, but I know the other tuners have great reputations on the forum as well. If you are near enough to one of the tuners, an in person tune would be the best. Links to the tuners are on the right =>

A sticky with a tuning FAQ would be nice. If any board tuners would like to work with me on compiling this just send me a PM.

Ok well I don't think I want a custom tuning sponsor, and i'm more interested in a handheld, what would be my best option?

Why don't you want a custom tune???
I had a Predator handheld tune and it sucked. I now have a blackbear tune and LOVE the tow/haul button feature..
Go custom you won't be disappointed
