IMHO a custom tuned SCT is the best.

No best tuner exists....unless you want to start a war. What would you like to have as an option, is the best question. The most power will come from custom tuners (SCT) using the Super Chips software.

IMHO best to leave it stock unless you have the money to fix it when it breaks.

I have the Edge Juice with Attitude and the pyro on my 05 F-350. I like the way it works with the ability to set warning limits and to be able adjust the power levels on the fly.

I have both a Superchips 1704 and a Flashpaq, and have been VERY happy with performance! The company stresses "safe power," and so far I've had zero problems with my motor after over 10K miles with the tuners.

I'll be getting rid of the 1704, in case you're interested (like new condition) ... PM me!

Regards,

I'm serious though...I have a new 06 so a tuner for 03-05 doesn't do me any good.

I can relate, of course. The 1704 rocks, but I've already duplicated its function with the Flashpaq so it's waiting for a new home. Anybody whose interested will be getting an awesome product at a great price! Your truck WILL thank you!! PM me if interested ... oh, and my shipping will be 2$ less than Customz' -- Haha!

Regards,

For sure a SCT tailored to your needs. Alot of people make good off the shelf tuners but if you want something just for YOU. Get set up with a good custom tuner.

I got the SCT Xcal2 and love it. I don't know "what the best" is but from what I read you get the most hp/torque for your truck using SCT Xcal2.
