Default Tuner ?'s

I just bought a 05 GMC Duramax about three weeks ago best decision I've made. I was a Ford Diesel guy back before they put these junk 6.0 in them. I had a banks programmer/tuner in my ford but through research and trying with error banks doesnt seem to be the best programmer for a duramax. So my questions is what seems to be the best tuner for a duramax, I'm looking for better fuel mileage and more horsepower of course.

Awesome thanks for the advice. I have been getting pm's about quadzilla and diablo predators, but I'm leaning towards the PPE standard due the 160 and 225 horsepower tunes.

PPE is probably the best canned tuner out there. But for real flexibility with your setup, get a reputable tuner and a good DSP5 tune with EFI Live.
