tuning question dialblo

I was wondering what a tune for my truck would cost. Major goals to accomplish are: Remove the EGR valve, increase gas milage, and change shift points to make the truck a bit more responsive. I can get my hands on a diablo predator for my truck at a fairly ridiculous price, just no tuning service comes with it. I was wondering if you all knew someone who will just charge me for the program.

Other things to note.
No material in the cat
stock pipe exhaust size but with a glasspack style muffler
I plan on sticking with the stock air filter
2007 f-250 6.0l diesel
thanks in advance

SCT is the way to go and there are free tunes for the SCT stuff posted on the internet right now that are very good.

i wouldn't put one on a 2007 truck unless you don't mind to diablow your head gaskets. IMO spend a lil more and get what's best since your truck is so new and probably in very good condition. i have no experience with diablo stuff but they don't have the best rep. good luck with whatever you do though.
