There's a couple of brands to choose from. There's a few models of Gryphon from PHP, and then there's a few SCT tuners from VMP and Troyer. PHP and Troyer have a f 'ing huge wait taime for their custom tunes, while VMP is shorter (I think). Just shop around and decide if you want an on dash tuner or one that you plug in, download the code, and put it away.

As 4.6 Punisher said, there are a couple of good ones out there that can accept custom tunes. I think thats the first step, make sure you dont buy one that limits you to the canned tunes in case you ever need to adjust for mods, etc.
Personally I like the added gauges you get with the gryphon/cs/cts. Looks good too
