If you want simple and easy adjustments, go with the Superchips Microtuner:
http://www.motorhaven.com/home.php?cat=169
Comes with 3 tunes, 87, premium tow and premium performance

If you want good power with a lower cost, go with the DiabloSport 2 stage Delta chip:
http://www.motorhaven.com/home.php?cat=37

If you want good power and a variety of switch on the fly settings, go with the DiabloSport 3 stage Delta chip ( again: http://www.motorhaven.com/home.php?cat=37 ) or the SCT chip: http://www.motorhaven.com/product.ph...cat=274&page=1

If you want a ton features, for a little more money and the ability to play around with the tune (including fueling and timing), go with the SCT Xcalibrator: http://www.motorhaven.com/product.ph...cat=274&page=1
You'll need the cable/software kit as well: http://www.motorhaven.com/product.ph...cat=274&page=1
