Programmer Questions

Im actually here looking for info for my uncle. He has a 2006 F-250 Superduty 6.0L Powerstroke, He is in the market for a programmer. Hes asked me to find some info on them, I was looking at the SCT Livewire, and the <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>Bully Dog Performance Management Tool, hes looking to get one with all the bells and whistles. My question here is if money wasnt an concurn which programmer would give the best performance upgrade? He said something about a sensor for the exhasut im guessing this is by the turbo? Any info will greatly appreciated.

Ill post a picture of his truck once i get a chance.

Thanks in advance!

The livewire I think is still up in the air as to being a stable product. SCT XCal 2 or XCal 3 by now, is the best for the 6.0 and get custom tunes for it. Coming from someone that has had bullydog products, you get good power, but I had to have my heads machined and studded after I had used it. I have various concerns also with OBDII gauges because they are reliant on the Ford factory sensors and those readings are less then when I get with the analog gauges that I have now tapped into more accurate places for reading(especially when compared to what I saw on the tranny temp and coolant temp on the OBDII gauge).

That would be an EGT gauge, aka pyrometer.
