6.8 tuner?

I've recently bought a 1999 6.8 gas, and i just wanted to know what the best tuner for the horsepower and torque boost was? thanks

In order to see a good noticeable power increase you are going to have to run a Premium Gas tune and run Premium all the time.

Since your truck is a 1999 I think the best tuner for your truckis the Diablo Predator.

You may want to save your money on a tuner and save it for gas. The V-10 is not great on gas mileage but has a ton of power when you need it. And welcome to FTE

Them 99s must be dirt cheap... I think we have over 25 questions in the last couple of months on this truck/motor...

MY personal advice...now that you guys n galls have found the mighty v10...shine er up real good sell for a slight profit and invest in a used 2005 or up 3v V10 version at the relativly cheap prices and do not worry about needing a tuner of any other mods... with gas prices what they are the re sale on a truck like mine is real low and they are all over the place in the south west..

I am out in wdc right now and saw two Lariat 3v V10 CC LB F350s from 2006 on the lot for under 22K$$$$
