custom tuning go with SCT or diablo for major aftermarket work like blowers and cams or any other major work.
I like Superchips but I S/Ced my truck so I am stuck with Diablo predator.
For small stuff CAI and exhaust I would go with superchips and their tranny tune which is BA.
For diablo look on their website to find a local shop to tune your truck
personally not familiar with the SCT.
This is a opionated question.
and yes i can't spell

You'll never get hp like the lightning just saying, but I'm sure you already know that. I've had the bully dog tuner for almost a year but never got it programmed. I've tried several times but can't seem to get it to work

You can just take more money seeing that this truck does normally come with S/C.
twin turbo in cali in the 600's HP
stroker in CO 550'ish w/o spray.
700's are achievable just expensive as ****

The two options for yours that I'd recommend are Superchips and Diablo. I myself sell and tune with the Diablo and you can Google my name for feedback. But with Diablo you can do custom tuning and I have great tunes for your model truck. I can put a tune on it, get a datalog, and email you updates. There's also cool trans changes to be made (at owners risk lol). The i1000 intune is replacing the predator. That sucker is the size of a cell phone and will also tune chevy and fords so if you ever decided to sell the tuner most anybody could buy it vs ONLY a dodge truck person. But the Diablo choice will end up costing more but you get a killer data logger and more capability in the device.
