Better address the exhaust system and intake as well. Doesnt make sense to go for tuners or programmers to add hp if you cant get the good air in (intake) and the exhaust out in a hurry. These items will keep your EGTs from getting out of hand, and help your engine run more efficiently, as well as compliment the tuner or programmer. Just tossing it out there........

The cts model is the bigger screen and its touch screen also has Digital gauges. so you wont have to worry about installing pillar gauges, even though they are cool. also the programmer has 6 different settings with a safety defueling feature which will protect your engine. plus on the fly progamming. best thing I invested in and im sure im not the only one who can say that..

I research edge cts which has been the first turner I was going to go with but with a lot of review it seems like h&s mini maxx is a better brand

Read, research, read some more, research some more. Then make a well informed decision for "your" needs. Ex: I'm not a fan of Edge. Cheesy products, EGT's tend to run a bit on the high side for what you get. Customer service is good, chances are you'll use it. EFI Live would be a much better choice over anything else. Again, read, research, before you part with your money blindly.

EFI Live is a really good product, but equally good is the Smarty and Smarty Jr. These are about the most popular products used. But like mykaos said, research and research some more. Make the right decision for your needs b/c you ultimately have to live with it. Do it right the first time, and you should have no regrets.... Cheers:c:

IMO EFI Live is much better when you learn how to tune with it, the mini maxx is a very user friendly system, but so are the others.
Intake, exhaust and a good tune any you have a completely different truck.:tu:

I try to do as much research as possible but it's hard to decide cause I haul vehicles and I don't want to destroy my truck I don't beat on my truck either I always remain at 55mph and I rarely go over 2000 rpms when going up hill
