There are several available from the usual suspects (Edge, bullydog, stealth) I personally wouldn't use any one of them.

Banks is one of the few that keeps your emissions system in mind when they tune and they haven't come up with a kit yet for the 3.0.

Keep in mind - any of the flash tuners opens the door for the dealer to void your power train (and likely emissions) warranty.

You don't show where you are located and of course in the US any tunes must be emissions OK. In some other parts of the world tunes have produced 90 hp and several tunes below that. Problem with emissions on tuning is soot which clogs up the dpf faster.

I had a banks in my 7.3 although I did it after factory warranty expired
I would wait until my warranty expires.
