Tuner for 7.3L Powerstroke

OK i got a buddy who just got a 7.3l powerstroke and wants to put a tuner on it. Anyone know what the best ones are for the 7.3l also how much power does the auto tranny hold before it will give up?

i was thinking about telling him to get a predator.

Easy decision TS Performance, ol Dennis does a good job and the tranny will last a few minutes get a BTS and you be set.

In my old ford i had injectors and a hot program and actually coulden't get the tranny to break, but i did the bts shortly after I still say TS.

I would look into DP Tuner. Jodi does great work for the 7.3's, and if you check in on a few Ford sites and ask the same question just about all will say DP. I love mine. My 60hp from DP blows away my 75hp Bully Dog I had.

Yes I was going to say to get a DP Tuner for a 99-03 7.3L. Tony Wildman does some nice tuning on 94.5-97 Powerstrokes too
