which tuner-99-150

I've got a 99' 150 with a 5.4 I put headers, intake, exhaust, upgraded cops,maf on it and it runs bad- needs a tuner- but which one? Been looking at the diablo kinda hard- where can I get tunes for it already done according to the use of truck ect. Or should I just buy it from a whole saler? OR should I look at something else?

Look at 5 Star Tuning | Custom Dynomemeter Chassis Tuning Products and Services, Power Hungry Performance - Feed your hunger for POWER!, and VMP Tuning Inc.

Your best bang for the buck will be custom tunes.

if you live near a major metro area, $ for 4 the best IMHO is to find a dyno shop that will tune the vehicle. The parameters are actually limited to what aspects a commercially available hand held "tuner" accomplish and for the same if not less $, a good dyno shop can re-tune your vehicle with much better precision and preformance. This option has really not been the case until recent years, but today, dyno shops capable of doing this work is becoming much more predominent.

I agree with one small clarification (see above).
