Default Best Tuner/Programmer for C7

I have a stock C7 Z51/Mag Ride/7sp and want to step it up a notch. I installed an AFE CAI and now thinking about a programmer. I'm not interested in headers, cams, blowers, etc as I'll probably upgrade to a Z06 in a couple of years. Just want to have a little fun with the car.

Has anyone had a bad experience with programmers? Anything to watch out for?

What are the brands you've had the best experience with? Right now, I'm looking at Diablo but open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance forum members.

To make it easy, we provide a preloaded tune for the AFE CAI for use with 91 or 93 octane fuel

Can I get the software for a 2015 Explorer Sport EcoBoost also? I'd rather not buy two programmers. Is the I2030 the correct model?

Yes you can.
You can get an i2030 and then add a Ford license or buy an i2020 for Ford then add a GM license and tune both vehicles with one device

The Diablo will do the afe intake no problem. Then when you get headers or cam/heads we can update the hand held tune for you here @ Texas Speed! Infact we even have diablo ready heads cam tunes!!
