DPF Delete and SCT Tuner info

I am currently running an S&B cold air intake and just purchased a ProFlow down pipe back DPF delete kit and SCT tuner and will be putting them on my truck (08 F350 CC FX4) in a couple weeks. Anyone out there running this setup already?? Curious as to any advice with install or any feedback on how the system works and noticed improvements on power and MPG ratings with the various tune settings. Any advice or info would be appreciated,
Thanks

I bought SCT because they were the first large company out with the DPF delete, kinda wish I had waited for Spartan. Don't get me wrong there's plenty of power but their tune revisions are so inconsistent, and none have gotten the high power with a comfortable throttle. That and they haven't released any custom tuning yet which is pissing me off.

Thanks for the advice but unfortunately contacted the place I bought it at and of course they do not allow returns on electronics so I guess I'll play with it for a few months and see how it goes and maybe pick up the Spartan if I am unhappy. So for those of you that are running the SCT tuner, any info on noticed improvements on the various tunes?? Also where can a guy pick up a Spartan tuner so I know where to go if I do decide to make the switch??
Thanks again guys

Programmers, little different. No shift on the fly power gains but much more capable when it comes to changing parameters.

And yes, the DPF MUST be removed when a DPF delete program is installed.

The cat is a passthrough pipe once it fills up with soot anyway. i would just leave it on. The DPF removal should help you though.
