If you're going to spend the money on a tuner, get HP tuners or efi live. It's not that much more and you get control over a lot more parameters

Plus more custom tuners support those. But in the end it would probably be about the same price to get a custom tune done by a good tuner. Half a grand or so no matter which one you go with.

If you just want something plug and play you can't go wrong with the Diablo sport, I've had good luck with those in the past on another platform.

The easiest is Diablosport imo. I ran it for about 9 months with no issues, then added a vararam and got a custom tune done by diablew. Runs very very well, completely different than stock.

I'm doing several minor projects and mods this year before I get into headers/cams etc. In the end I will probably have to get a full dyno tune, but for the time being I'm 100% satisfied with DiabloSport. I'd recommend them. I also run a DS canned tune on my fbody.
