Right, in the old day you changed out a ROM (?) computer chip that changed a few perameters, nowadays with OBDII ports we can link our laptops to the Engine Control Module and change things never considered possible before, with the right software.
"Tuners" such as were mentioned earlier are able to cnfigure your engine controll module for your specific application, hense "custom tune"
Enjoy the site and don't let Scott scare you, he's a puffcake

As stated, these new trucks require what is called a TUNE. Handheld tunes make very minimal and usually unhelpful changes while a custom tune or mail order tune is done manually by someone that knows what to do.
Custom tuning takes some time to do so you may want to start with a mail order from Blackbear, Wheatley, or Nelson as stated. Each do great work. Just tell them what you have, what mods, and they'll set you up.

toss a dorito in the intake. 20 hp and 15 tq right there. spicy nacho adds another 10 hp.
No seriously, call or email wheatley or blackbear. I went Wheatley because he was local(ish) to me and had a custom tune done. It took about an hour or so, but I'm very pleased with the results, plus its for the life of my truck, so if I change something up, he'll retune it for me.
