A custom tune is the best way to go.
Also,I would do longtubes and not the shorties.

You could always look into something like hptuners or efilive, I run hptuners and love it. You just have to learn about it before using it thats all. Just depends how much you want to learn/how much time you have to learn.

sounds like you need a mail-order tune

see nelson performance to the right they are a sponsor

they use hptuners to tune a pcm for your truck and your mods and send it you and send them your old stock one when you swap them out

Yeah when I first got into this stuff I went from a Hypertech to a mail order from Brian @ PCMForLess. If I were to go with another mail order, he'd be the person I'd go to.

Any of our sponsors' MOT's will be better than a handheld. I had a HPP3 before getting a mail order tune and I was amazed at the difference.
