Default Tuner Questions

Ok, have a few questions on tuners.

1. Which is the best one on the market?

2. Do these tuners work, like the H&S minimaxx I have in my powerstroke? (i.e. clear DTC codes, recalibrate for rims/tires, cam change, rear diff change, turning off airbag light). Or do I need to take it to an actual tuner to correct the above stated?

Here's my situation:

2001 Camaro SS M6
ASR light goes on and off, I believe the sensor in the rear needs to be replaced, but does it need to be calibrated for putting 4.10 gears in?

Airbag light is on, Code is for "option configuration, can a tuner correct this?

CEL is on for maf and tps high/low. MAF because its SD tuned, and TPS high/low because of the cam, TPS % needs to be adjusted.

Any help is appreciated.

You need an actual tune, no hand held is going to do what your wanting.

Thats what I was figuring, but is it worth adding a plug in tuner after getting an actual tune?

No you can not use a hand held with a custom tune, the hand held will erase your custom tune in most cases.

Ok, thanks for the info. Wasn't sure if that was the case or not.
