As for the tune, you should consider buying HPTuners or EFI Live and then getting an e-mail tune for your truck. Then you can learn as you go, and make minor adjustments along the way.
Dude, preciate the advice. It took me a couple of days of reading to understand what the hell you meant, now I understand though. My only fear of getting EFI Live is having to constantly be changing the tune on my ride due to weather changes and such. I really am not interested in having to constantly change tunes on my only vehicle. I see it appears I need to talk to Justin @ Black Bear and ask him what he thinks, and also how much he charges for an e-mail tune.

For right now you should probably go with a blackbear tune. Can't go wrong. If you do a lot of modifications you may want to consider buying the stuff yourself because you can get a better understanding of how things work. I did and way glad.

you don't have to retune all the time for each season. You can set it and leave it. If something ever fails you can scan it yourself and not pay someone to do it for you.

Thanks Dude,
I e-mailed Justin @ blackbear today. I'm like a kid in a candy store. Can't hardly wait to get a tune. I've got a question for you. What exactly is a wideband. I've been noticing it on members vehicles, but have yet to figure out what it is or what it does.

It's an oxygen sensor that screws into the exhaust and runs up to a gauge(wideband) and tells the air fuel ratio.
This helps make sure the tune is properly set and your not running too rich or lean. 14.8 is factory cruise speed. 12.8 is ideal for the most power at WOT (wide open throttle).
