I have been running a Mike Wilson tune for a few months now and the big advantage is that he is able to take away more of the TM. Defintely a difference over the 93 tune. I have no hard numbers but there is a difference. I am taking it a step further this week and have logged some data and he will be customizing my tune based on the logged data from my trinity. I will send this forum link to Mike so he can come up with some ideas for a group buy. Not sure if he does it but it doesn't hurt to ask.
His contact info is
www.tuningsuperstore.com
email: info@tuningsuperstore.com
Here is the email I received from him a few months ago.

No problems with knocking at all. I should be receiving my logged tune today or tomorrow so I will let you guys know. I would not do a custom tune unless the tuner was to look at my log first.

i had slight pinging with the 93 tune. did some data logging with normal and wot runs. knock lt rtrd was 0.00 on both wot and normal driving however knock st rtrd was up to 4.5-5 bouncing back and forth on wot runs ( mostly higher at shift points). i read many places that higher knock retard long term readings will be higher at shift points under WOT than any other time. I added 5% fuel ( 5% in the rich direction) across the 3 rpm ranges. Did some more logging under WOT and saw a decrease down to 2.5-3.5 under the higher rpm ranges and 0.00 under the first rpm range. Thats all i had time to play with but i am going to add another 1% to the 2nd rpm range and 2% to the 3rd rpm range while leaving the lower rpm range at 5% rich. i suspect ill be where i need to be. Im going to monitor this for a few days and see if the knock/ping goes away completely. It already seems liek it has got alot better. i am enjoying playing around with things and learning how it all works. My goal is to get my knock rtrd ST sensor to read 0.00-1.5 under WOT in the higher rpm range. The predator canned tunes seems to make these trucks run real lean and thats whats causing the ping. Also cheapo gas doesnt help the cause either. try using name brand quality fuel.
how much you selling your intake and exhaust for? Everyone hears the noise from the intake, these intakes are alot louder than stock and you got the 14 inch mufflex which is loud and the intake only makes it louder. try getting the 18 inch mufflex and youll most likely love it.

Wow I am really happy to hear that I am not the only one hearing the higher pitched digital sound after installing the Air raid intake. I am pretty pleased with it per say and was really concerned that the tune made it worse. I will re-load the 93 tune and enjoy the benefits of that but I must say I have not noticed a big difference with the 93 tune over the 87.

It's all the same gas, only thing that changes is the quality of the tanks it's stored in, the machinery used to pump it, and maybe a few little additives. Makes you laugh when two gas stations next to each other have different prices when the same truck fills them both up.
Yup, that's why I asked
Used to do some work for a refinery and a couple depots, eventually you notice how many trucks fill off the same spigot
