Wondering what you all think would be a good tune for my gas hog. Not looking to brake the bank here. Tell me what you know about what the gains may be, thanks in advance.

This is like asking which is better, Ford or Chevy on a GMC site:) I use In Tune i2. Reason I use this is because it holds 5 licenses, can put ford or dodge on it as well. Also lots of custom tunes, although GM does a nice job of maxing the tune out of their engines. So GM vehicles get the least amount of benefit for GAs. Ford, different story. Bear is also a top tier system. Lots of Bully dogs, you can get custom tunes. I like mine as I said, I sell license's to friends and it has paid for the unit, they get a good deal, and I get my money back. Everyone wins.

the 40417 bully dog GT has some pre loaded tunes which are nice but only about a 15 HP gain . but depending on year can do minor transmission tuning and on some disable AFM . Also they support custom tunes which can boost power more .

*** nm didnt realize it was the 8.1 till after i posted . BD only tunes 4.8l 5.3L and 6.0
