Welcome to FTE Big,

I'm sure you'll get standard recommendations pretty quick.

Gears then Tuner
or
Tuner then Gears to start.

5StarTuning is highly regarded here (Mikes Profile page) (Mikes E-Mail) (Website) (Computer Chips and Tuners Category FTE)

This thread covers just about everything that I have found during the past 1.5 years... I'm in the same boat as you.
