Check out VMP, PHP, and Troyer. Troyer takes the longest and PHP is a rebadged Edge but with custom tunes, this way you get gauges as well as the tunes.

Default Edge Tuner

I like the edge performance tuner. I hear that you get an extra 50 horsepower and like 20 ft lbs of torque. I do not have one but am considering getting one in the near future. Good luck finding a good chip.

If your going to add any other performance mods, like a CAI or exhaust I wouldn't dare run a cookie cutter tune. You will get very dangerous results because your AF ratio will be so low. Get a Gryphon if you want the gauges that way you can get custom tunes to go with it.

What my friend means is the A/F ratio will be very high and the truck will run lean.

The damage that can be casued by dumping a CAI and other stuff in there would be bad let alone going and adding some canned tunes would bad for the guts of your ride.

You could also get the Livewire with either Troyer or VMP custom tunes and have the gauges as well.
