Search is your friend.

No definitive answer for your question. SCT with custom tunes. Spartan is our forum sponsor and is good.

Spartan can't tune the SCT anymore but they do have their own brand of programmer---The Phalanx, which is MUCH more than a programmer.

For SCT tunes I recommend Innovative Diesel.

I looked at Spartan's website and it was all about the 6.4s, do they have 6.0 systems.

Yes matt does have his tunner for the 6.0 there are a number of people on here that is using it. Just depends on how much you are looking to spend go with the Spartan if you want to spend the money. Or go with sct from innovative diesel, stay away from the livewire though. It is a hit or miss on it there is a lot of problems with them. Seem to be a 50/50 chance on getting a good one

Yes Spartan does have one for the 6.0 as texans has said. It's a lot of scratch, but you also get quite a bit for it to. Over the years(5 to be exact), I've used the xCal 2(my favorite of the SCT products), X3 and the Spartan Phalanwhich I currently use).

The problem that I believe texans was specifically talking about with regard to the LiveWire is the screen freezing and/or powering down etc. You might get one that does it, but you might not. I would just get the tried and true X3 and get some of Eric's tunes if you go the route of the SCT.
