Question Best programmer / tuner to use?

I know some of you all have tuners/programmers that you use. Any recommendations?

Also, can you change tire size with your particular one?

Also @leckbandg looks like Banks doesn't have a tuner for the 2017 3.5 Ecoboost on their website 😢

I'd go with the N-Gauge with MPT tunes.

Well I ended up purchasing an SCT GTX tuner from 5star tuning. Once I get around to installing it I'll post back with some info. They were on sale a couple weeks ago so I pulled the trigger.

Congrats on the Tune. I run N-Gauge with 5 Star Tunes. I've hit about 1,000 miles on my tune, 2nd Revision. I still feels like it getting stronger every day. Enjoy.

I went with another SCT BDX with 5Star tunes. The BDX will allow for tire size calibration along with a few other things. It's easy to use as well. I don't care to have the the tuner viable all the time, I like to set it and forget it.

@Liv'nbytheBungie74 Thanks for the reply. What do you mean 2nd revision?

@2AF150GA Yes the GTX allows tire size calibration as well which is part of the reason I went with it. How have you liked your tunes?

I'm hoping to get them today but we'll see. I submitted the calibration form yesterday evening so realistically it'll probably be Friday after the holiday. I feel pretty good about 5Star Tuning as I had tunes from them for the 2.7 Eco. I feel they keep things safe while still giving good power gains.
