I am wanting a programmer that will help with fuel milage, power, be able to read balance rates and etc. Whats the best for the money. Thanks

Man, you are going to get so many different ideas. That's kinda like asking "what's the best oil to use?"

I have had great success with Edge (http://www.edgeproducts.com)

For the money, Edge Evolution CS. It will do everything you want it to do.

How much are you looking to spend?

id guess EFI-live pretuned by someone so u get tunning and a powerful diagnostic tool all in 1 box or ppe maybe? .....

ppe.. on a stock truck it will give you all you want and when you upgrade trans you can keep upping you tunes with it.. IMO all the others are crap until you get into efi live. Have a bunch of buddies rockin the others and all of them are pissed and disappointed.

Quadzilla...

PPE or EFI

I just ordered a quad stealth 2 from XDP to replace my hypertech.

all depends on your budget, future plans for the truck, current mods etc.

efi is king, most people belive ppe is second best. i have had good luck with the ats e power. it is very similar tuning to ppe and goes up to the 350 tune and is half the price of ppe. not many guys run it and im not sure why. its a great tuner and as far as power for the money i dont think it can be beat.

There are several options out there for you, PPE, Edge CS, Quadzilla or Diablosport Predator all come to mind for hand held tuners. PPE is our best seller for LB7 trucks, and has proven very reliable for power delivery, functionality and trans. shifting. The Edge CS or CTS product just got released last month, and is showing promise to become a big contender amongst the ranks of PPE, plus you get a very high quality gauge monitor to boot.

Here are a couple of links to look at, if you have any questions, call or PM me for a more detailed explanation.
