Question Question On Choosing Tuner

hey yall ive got a 99 with long tubes, ory pipe, lid, and other free mods.
my quesiton is about whcih tuner to buy because im about to order the tr224/224/112lsa cam and ls6 intake. ive read up some on the diablo and edit but if i was going to put it on a dyno can they tune everything needed for the cam and bolt ons with the diablo. ive heard the it can only change timing at wot is that true. also how good are the custom tunes from diablo and can you change them up some after getting it. im thinking about ordering the diablo from a sponser called new era performance parts. has anyone bought it from them and can they do the custom tunes if this is even the best way to go.
sorry for all the questions im sorta a newbie but i do thank yall for the help ahead of time.

Have you looked at hptuners? Its $500 i think but comes with both a scanner and editing program. It might be a challenge to learn how to tune, but that way you can change it how you want it. Just read up on this forum and ask some questions and you can do the tune yourself!

I would get edit or hp tuners if I were in your situation. I use edit every day and love it, I've seen Hp tuners and it seems almost identical to edit.

from what ive gathered the custom diablo tunes arent that bad if you have a good tuner to make them but they have to be a licesend seller of diablo. im starting to lean toward the diablo for the ease of it. the only thing ive heard bad is once you get the custom tune you can only mess with the timing at wot.
