Hmmm....
Not anyone I've seen....
from the numbers you tout, presume it is for a diesel, not a gasser,
which diesel, which year, which truck...
Do you seel them black maxx ?
While black max has a macho name
MOST positive feedback here is for the SCT tuner...
and most feedback for the banks and edge.... is negative

I only know of one tuner that has dyno records to show gains of that much and that's the Spartan Phalanx tuner for the 6.4s.
5 Star I think just does the gassers, I don't think they do diesel. I could be wrong, but I've never seen him chime in on diesel tuning only when it concerns the gassers.
Spartan definitely has the corner on 6.4 tuning over SCT. In fact, the die hards that would recommend the SCT tuner for the 6.0s, actually recommend Spartan instead when it comes to the 6.4.

I myself have never heard of the black maxx.
Spartan
SCT
Banks are the ones you mostly here about
Edge is another..bully dog but those don't work well and could be considered very risky IMHO.

Although 5 Star Tuning specializes in the gas engines, they develop tunes for the diesel engines as well.

If I were you, I wouldn't use any aftermarket tuner for the first year of your new SD truck. Let the engine break-in with the OEM tune to ensure that any engine or transmission issue is fully covered by your factory warranty. Thereafter, if you really feel that you need and/or want the additional HP/TQ available from an aftermarket tuner, then get one knowing that your engine and transmission are operating without issue.
