Default Best setup for a tuner?!

Hey fellas I just bought my paps 05 from him and let me say this truck is way more of a beast than my old 98. It's an 05 longbed with 4.10s from factory. It already has tons more power than my old 98 4.6 with 3.55s. But my question is I had an intake and exhaust with my tuner on it. I'm not to sure how the 3v engines handle the tuner. I've heard the intake makes it run rich. What are your alls setups for peak tuner performance?

I wish I could help but I'm in the same boat. But I'd love to see some pics of the truck!

Intakes make them run lean unless they have a custom tune. Cant beat a good intake, exhaust, programmer and custom tune. If u haven't grabbed a programmer yet, edge evo and sct are both great devices and allow custom tunes, the guys at php really know what there doing, and there are a few ppl that do tunes for sct.

I'd grab a SCT tuner... A lot of people offering custom tunes and they don't dick around like PHP.... More recently guys who have received their PHP tunes(finally) are not impressed with the results being that they waited for months and their canned tunes are better than the custom ones...
