I have a Banks Power Automind 2. On my gas Mustang it added a noticeable amount of throttle response and torque. On my 6.7 powerstroke diesel I noticed a slight improvement in fuel milage. The 6.7 has so much power that I don’t think I ever get close to using it all, even towing up steep hills is not challenge for that motor. I found mine used on facebook marketplace for $125. Couple of things you need to know if you go this route. It only works on 1 vehicle at a time. If you tune a car the tuner it will lock and not tune another until it is plugged back into the tuned car and unlocked by putting the factory tune back in, it then becomes unlocked and can tune a different car. Quirky but if you only have 1 vehicle to tune it’s no problem. If you buy used, Make sure you plug the unit into YOUR car when you buy it, it will show if it’s locked to another car. If it’s locked to another car the unit is worthless until it’s unlocked from the car it was locked from. The unit will tune the engine and transmission parameters if you have a compatible tranny. The Ford version of the Automind 2 works on every Ford, gas or diesel. It has several modes of tune, for my truck it has , performance, economy, tow and factory. Apparently Ford has done its homework as in Tow mode it does not change any diesel engine parameters, only transmission programming.
