I'd do a SCT so you can do some trans programing. You won't be disapointed.

I've been very happy with the SCT with custom tunes by Innovative Diesel. Fuel mileage when towing my 8k 30ft camper has increased from 7.5mpg stock to 9mpg or better with the tuner. Still not great, but better. The power now is significantly better. I felt the truck struggled in hilly terrain when towing the camper. Now it walks up and down the hills like they barely even there!!

TS 6 pos is for 7.3's, it's useless on a 6.0. You want a programmer. No "chips" for 6.0's. SCT is the best way to go hands down. Do some searching you will see. I'd suggest custom tunes from Eric @ Innovative Diesel. Get a good towing tune. You don't want to tow on hot tunes. His towing tunes are about 50-70 hp on top of stock, and the trans shifting is AWESOME. It's worth it for the transmission settings alone.

Call Eric up @ ID and he will help you out. The hardest thing to learn at first is getting the tunes via email, and getting them onto your programmer. Then it's just a matter of plugging it in, uploading the tune, unplugging it and away you go.

Edge is crap.

I just got my SCT with custome tunes from Eric at IDP. All I can say is WOW!! I would highly recommend going with the SCT with Eric's tunes. It feels like he added another turbo to my truck and the tranny shifts are spot on.

SCT X3- Innovative Diesel Custom Tuned

Check this tuner out. This will be how you feel the first time you drive it with Eric's xtreme tune if you add it I would just go with an Edge Insigt to monitor your other paramaters. You can get them from Innovative or just check on ebay. They are going for about $230 the last time I saw them.
