Default Best Tuner Available?

Im about to get a tuner for my 05 v6 and was wondering which one is the best, but is not too much money? I am looking to spend between $300 - $500. i currently have dual flowmasters, but no cai yet (will be getting later on).

Thx

Kinda silly to get a tuner w/o a CAI IMO, but you will see more gains with a stand alone tuner than a stand alone CAI. A decent combo is about $600, WITH 3 custom tunes.

The Diablo and the SCT are probably the 2 most popular. Go with the tuner that is suppoerted by the vendor you'll be buying your tunes from.

Buy a tuner that your local tune vendor supports.

Both are excellent but I hear Bama has the edge for automatics.
