Default Power programmer for 5.0

I've got a 2013 5.0 and just lifted it and put 35s on it. I want a power programmer but there are so many out there now I have no idea which one to go with. I remember when it was hypertech and they owned the market I've heard the SCT is a good one for the 5.0. Anybody have 2 cents in this matter

Hypercrap has never 'owned the market', lol. They were - and still are - junk.

Recommend this one, from MPT, with custom calibrations included:

The reason SCT with custom tunes will always get recommended is because it allows the tuner to adjust the shifting, throttle response, etc to your personal liking. They also allow you to datalog the tunes and ensure they are running safe, plus if there is room it allows you to safely increase the power more than canned tune devices.

Other systems like superchips, edge and hypertech work good, but they do not allow for custom tunes.

5 Star tunning http://www.5startuning.com/ They use SCT. However you can go with Stage 3 tunning http://www.stage3motorsports.com/201...ogrammers.html
That can give you a warrenty if you are worried about loosing it.

If you get custom tunes we all already know how it'll turn out, your truck is going to blow your mind how much more responsive and powerful it becomes.
