I love my SCT. Even the can tunes are great. SCT really shines when you add mods, especially heads, intake manifold, and cam. My tuner just finalized my custom performance tune, and my truck runs incredibly strong especially in the low to mid range. It is important to get a wideband to data log air/fuel ratio to nail down the appropriate tune. The towing tune is also amazing when it comes to pulling my 6400# travel trailer. The SCT tuner did a great job of maximizing the performance of my current mods.

That TB spacer you have is worthless on our trucks. Does nothing, expensive paperweight, due to our engine design.

If you want to know why, its been discussed before, please read here.

Actually, he doesn't know a lot about tire size at the PCM program level- I went through this with him and, he stated that he did not have a method for inputting that into the tune as it didn't have that ability like some of the other tuners do. Perhaps things have changed since I last spoke to him.
