Since ive been on here my reading on here shows crane seems to be the best handheld. But spend the extra and get a hp.

That's correct. With the tune it shifts around 5600 to 5700 rpms in both 1st and 2nd. It shifts to third a little too early for my liking at WOT. I don't know about the rev limiter, though I didn't see an option for that either. You also don't get the ability to add fuel with the truck tuner (which I thought I was going to have). I've heard that you can do that by telling the tuner to decrease the injector size which in effect adds fuel, but I have yet to try it.

I would have went with HP Tuners but my free time is very limited and don't want to spend it learning how to tune. After I do my cam swap I figure if I don't like the Crane tuning I'll go get a dyno tune and give my dad my hand held to run on his stock Avalanche.
