and shut em up for a while (the guys i work with any way)

LOL, shoot man, you can leave it stock and kick fords and dodges..

you really cant go wrong with either PPE or EFI live.. if you dont want the full customization and complexity that can come from EFI, PPE has a +2 Hot unlock.. I think it adds somewhere around 280hp or something like that. maybe its 320 hp.. I cant remember for sure. I think Johnny Cetane, one of our Mods here, just got a PPE for his DMAX. And 2500Heavy Duty runs EFI Live.. Im sure either of them would be more than happy to give u the pros and cons on the tuners as they see them.

PPE cant, but most people just leave it on the strong tune any way.

EFI Live u can write a DSP tune with either 2 or 5 tunes loaded. I have a DSP5 switch but right now i just have my big tune loaded 24-7

Just my opinion. Stay away from shift on the fly for the Allison. Ally does not like it. Technically any time you go up in HP, relearn trans. Anytime going down, no need.
