Flash Tunners

I'm not new to this site but have been away for a while. Who makes the best flash tunner? I see that superchips flashpaq is the new kid on the block but what about the preditor? Im looking for boosting miles per gallon. I currentley run a completely stock 04 F350. I was thinking of a tunner and a exhaust system. Any good suggestions.

Superchips flashpaq is definitely not the new kid on the block.....it's an updated tuner to replace the 1704-1706.

The tuning in it has been tested for several years now.

I saw that each tunner boast different HP gains and torque gains as well. Which one provides the best fuel economy? I have been out of the country for a while and I am going to buy a tunner and want to make sure I get the best one.

I have a Banks 6 gun with the PDA. I really like it and got an increase in fuel mileage with it. I have also noticed that if I can keep my foot out of it I get better fuel mileage in level 6 than I do in the lower settings. I agree with juniorf350 that this is going to just be an opinion topic. Like I said though, I really like the Banks set up.
