best chip/programmer for the 6.0

I have a friend of mine that just bought a 6.0 and was asking me what is the best programmer/chip for these trucks. I have a 7.3 and usually post in the 7.3 forum and a bunch of the guys in there swear by dp tuner but didnt know if they were any good with the 6.0's. Any advice would be great. Thanks

SCT programmer. Jody writes good tunes for the 6.0 but Matt @ gearhead performance or Eric at Innovative are the two preferred.

Here is who I would have write you tunes... Mike @ KEM, Chris @ TSD, Doug @ GOGO, Bill @ PHP (If you can get them to), Eric @ IDP, ELite, Jody @ DP... Thats who I would have sent tune your truck (I personally have had KEM, TSD, & DP tune my truck)

KEM can put tunes on H&S' or SCT's (and non-updated Spartans)
