Default What's a good tuner?

I have a 2013 lariat 6.2 and am looking for a good tuner. I'm leaning towards the sct x4 with 5startunes. Anyone running that?

I have both 5* and MPT custom tunes and can say without a doubt that MPT tunes are definitely more aggressive than 5*

Nope, I run their towing chill tune as a DD. Basically it's a similar tune as their performance tune but with mild transmission shifting strategy. I also have their race tune.

None. But, I DO seem to have issues with traction fer some strange reason - even with all the nannies enabled. I swear I can hear the PCM laughing at the ABS module

Well - the 6.2L is well-known to be a bit of an oinker w.r.t.economy. Not much a tune can do. Driving habits, maintenance, rolling stock choice, etc, will affect it as least as much.

I'm not all that into mileage ... I bought a pickup, after all. But yes, I use one of my tow tunes as a DD in winter - since there is even less available grip.
