Default Sct or fastman?

Well title says it all. Looking at either one but not sure which one to go with first. I think sct is the way cause I can set different tunes with what I want where as what the fastman gives me is what I got. Got a cai and dumped exhaust(I think my duals are getting put back on tho) Any advice is helpful.

hmm. you will most likely need a 180tstat before sean can do some good tuning for you. but thats a cheap thing to do. otherwise he wont really beable to advance timing.

what about those 1.7 harland R&R's or w.e they are called. thats like a mild cam.

I thought about a cam but I think I'll need new rockers plus I don't really have time to do it right now the future I will. Plus 300 is all I want to spend right now

ia although i loved the fastman on my 5.9 ... i about shat my pants on the new power with the sct ! ! you will love it ! ! removing torque managment it throws you back in your seat some .. just wait till you floor it after going into 2nd and it goes back into 1st

sct is also good for the trans better firmer shift.. like if you floor it the RPMS drop way down low and go up.. now it shift and stays higher in the rpms i love it best mod ive done so far !
