Default Best Tuner??

Ok guys, so I'm thinking about buying an '01 Dodge 5.9l in addition to my 2003 Ford F-250 6.0l. So what is the best tuner (like, I know for the 6.0l it was a custom tuned SCT, hands down)? And is there anything I need to do to keep the engine from falling apart (that is one thing I hate about my truck, even to be able to put a chip/tuner/programmer on it, you had to have ARP head studs)? I'm only going to be running an exhaust, air intake (whats the best air intake too?), and a tuner. So any help is appreciated! THANKS

I would say the Adrenaline with pulse monitor But your tranny won't like it. Engine will handle it just fine

I would say the Edge Comp if you have gauges or the Juice W/Attitude if you dont have gauges. But ether way you go make sure you get the supporting mods like a good lift pump FASS or AirDog & the right trany upgrades or clutch. Or at least be prepaird to do some repairs soon after.

Yeah I want a tuner that is safe with just an exhaust and an air intake, no other mods for now!? I might can do a new fuel pump, but thats it

I'm looking at a Smarty, Adrenaline, Edge Comp, and Edge Nice with Attitude. Which one should I get? I want to save the stock Auto tranny, and I want to remain as safe as I can, because after these mods I can afford a $4000 repair bill! But I also want as much power as i can!!!!!
