Call someone like Swamps and see what they use. I'm want to say OEM w/ is the best bet from all I've read. Edit... How you like the Delta force?

I figured oem that's what I use on the 6.0 head gasket jobs just figured I would keep an open mind.

Go with Minotaur and don't look back. My opinion delta force is a half the software Minotaur is. bill knows what he is doing the definitions are way better. I will give you a laptop and my interface with 2 licenses for two trucks for next to nothing. I plan to upgrade to Minotaur but just haven't yet.

It's good for burning a good baseline tune directly to the PCM...in the event you have a chip failure...and have bigger nozzles. ..you can still drive the truck home.

Unfortunately I've had my issues w/ PHP so if need be I'll have Swamps or somebody live tune but I'd love to have Charles as an available party as well.

Good point Vref, that is a very smart idea and that was the basic concept w/ my 02 when I had another tuner reflash my pcm.

200 per license is the bad part. buy two chips and leave the spare in the glove box still cheaper
