Welcome! I second the Gryphon as a great choice. There is also the Xcal3 tuned by Troyer Performancethat is excellent, if you have no interest in the gauges that the Gryphon provides. .

#1: stop looking at the gains from diesel tuners you have a gas engine and you're gonna way less results


IF you run a good custom tune for 91/93 octane you'll gain about 25HP/TQ max, but your driveability will increase

sounds like you want an Xcal3 talk to Justin @ VMP Tuning or Mike @ Troyer Performance and then decide what tune(s) are best for you, your truck and your driving
