Check out Power Hungry Performance - Gryphon http://dygytalworld.ehost-services139.com/php/. I've got one in my 07 and so far I'm very happy with it and I don't even have my custom tunes yet.

Another programer you could look at is the Edge programer. Do a search on this forum for "edge" there is alot of information on here about it.

You may want to try the search option. There is a new thread about programmers every 3 days or so.

In a nutshell:

Edge - canned tunes
Gryphon from PHP - Edge with custom tunes (only PHP can tune)
SCT - Custom tunes. Any SCT tuner can tune. PHP is now an SCT dealer as well.

As stated, custom tuning is a great way to go using either SCT or Gryphon. The first programmer I got for my '06 was the Edge. It made a very noticeable difference over stock and I liked having the gauge display. I wanted to try the custom tunes and switched to an SCT tuner and the custom tunes provided a noticeable difference over the Edge! I still use my Edge as a gauge display.

if you have a 4.6 & 3.50 gear running 35's, you may see little help from a programmer in the power department
