Default Who's Best?

So I am looking to add a tuner to the mix on my truck to optimize it but I have a few questions that maybe some members can answer. I currently have the Banks ram air CAI and a dual exhaust set up with a Flowmaster 40 series muffler, I am running high flow cats. The truck is a 2006 F150 4x4 w/ the 5.4. With my current set up I run and idle just fine and my mileage has increased slightly (i hypothesize a combination of my gas switch) but I want a little more out of the truck and hoping to cure a "bog" I get when I open the truck up full throttle from a stand still, which was present when I first got the truck and it already had the exhaust on it (not the CAI). The thing is I used to always run 93 octane and have recently changed to REC 90. For those that aren't familiar REC 90 is not (or less than .05%) mixed with ethanol. My truck runs better on this gas and I get better mileage and don't have that ethanol gunking everything up. I need to know who is doing the best custom tunes where I can continue to run my REC 90 and optimize performance.I can get a good price on a Diablo Sport Predator tuner. It has some canned tunes and the ability to upload custom ones as well. Who out there could get me a good set up? Would I have better results from another manufacturer with my wants/needs? If so point me in the right direction please and thanks for reading this long a** post.

Sounds great. Not overly aggresive since I dont want some loud drone while going down the interstate for example. With my Banks intake, flowmaster exhaust, and a canned DiabloSport tune she is a beast now.

Look up Franchi Motorsports on here. Ge xan answer all your questions and set you up with a great tuner. Im running with a Roush CAI and a SCT Livewire 9600.
