You would be fine with a Superchips.

If you want custom tunes you can get Diablo or SCT. Hemifever tunes 08+ Dakotas with Diablo and the 05-07 with SCT. Custom tunes are necessary with a 212 or bigger cams, boost, nitrous etc.

Hemifever Diablo tune.

Hemifever SCT tune.

You could probably get more out of the cams and other mods with SCT.

He's got HO cams on his mod list. If he doesn't have a 4.7L there are major issues here, lol.
