SCT's are very popular, overall MPG is anybody's guess, depends on gearing, tire sizes and driving habits. Air kits, "LEAVE THE STOCK ON IN!" You'll find that most people on here will tell you that. As far as voiding warranty, depends on how much you mod the psd and how extreme, try to find a mod friendly dealer or you're gonna spend alot of $ paying out of pocket for voided warranty issues. My truck is close to being out of the 5/100k warranty and I accept the "pay to play" if something breaks.

Yes if you have performance enhancer mods it will/could void the 100K warranty. Let's say your local dealer is friendly to mods. But you are on a trip 1000 miles from there and you have a problem. That is when you really could have a problem if the nearest dealer goes by the book, puts it in the system as having mods. I just wouldn't want to go there if my $$$$

How much does the trailer weigh loaded. If 13K or less then it will handle it with no problems stock. even in the mountains.

As you can see below as to what our 04 has and we tow a 10K trailer and even in the mountains with 6% grades I have to keep reminding myself I am towing a trailer.

I got a 2007 F250 Harley Davidson edit. I've put some money into this truck it's got edge platinum, bully dog ontop of that, K&N cold air intake, MBRP turbo back exhaust system, 6" procomp lift 37x13.50 Kuhmo mud tires on original rims. Up to now i haven't had trouble with the truck but i don't think it's running at its best, so i am looking for somebody with similiar mods to exchange feedback on programming.

Most programming companies(bully dog included) will tell you not to stack even their own modules and tuners together. The exception is edge and they recommend stacking what they have "made" with stacking in mind with their own stuff. That could be a plug though for their own product, but to my knowledge they are the only ones that seem to advocate it to any degree. Now I'm not a fan of stacking, but if I were to stack, I would stick with the same company, atleast if you had issues you could go to one service department and they could tell you how those products should be working. With two companies, both could probably guess what the other is supposed to do and probably be pretty darn close, but it still would be a guess.
