V-10 Superchips or other Programmers

Hello All,
As some of you may know, I have a 99 V10 Regular Cab and I am looking to increase the throttle response and power of the engine. I have 116000 miles on it now so Im not interested in sporting a supercharger at this point. In the future, planned upgrades are headers, y-pipe, and Gibson cat-back exhaust. However, I need to know if any of you are using a programmer, what brand, and has it been worth the money? Did you see power gain from it after using it or is it a waste of money? Thanks guys.

Nate

I have an SCT Xcalibrator2 (XCal2) with three custom programs...
87 Performance
91 Tow
91 Performance

So far I've just used the 87 tune and yes, it does make a difference. It has better (quicker) throttle response and shifts smoother. I've had it installed for about a month, so not too much experience yet. But so far, so good!
