RaceME Ultra!
Just got the RaceMe Ultra in! I plan on posting my install and giving a review. I just unboxed it today, thought I would share that for the people that are interested.
I purchased this tuner from http://doublerdiesel.com/ <-----Excellent service and knowledge about product, and support! I definitely recommend doubleR if interested.
I also purchased an EGT probe, should be coming in next week.

Long days at work, itching to do the install. Hopefully soon.
In the mean time, I found that the edge mount (38404 pillar pod) can work with the RaceMe

Here is the complete Install>>>>
Install tuner first, then delete components.
-Tuner install:
Make sure you have good battery voltage. Connect the ultra tuner to the OBDII connector under the dash,
Use the usb cable, black box, and OBD connector. If you have a 2013+ you will also need connect
the RSA unlock cable directly to the ecm.
-Tuning the ECM:
Once you plug in the tuner to the OBDII port it will startup and run an update

Attachment 2460
Main screen, Select ECM & Tuning
Attachment 2461
Select DTC, This will prompt you to turn the ignition key to ON (Do not start). This checks for error codes, this
should be done before programming to avoid check engine lights.
Attachment 2462
Attachment 2463
Leave ignition key on and select ECM, Select customize tuning
Attachment 2464
Select your power level and timing (The default was set at level 9 and 3 timing)
Attachment 2465
Speed limiter
Attachment 2466
The tuner will start to write to the ECM. Leave the key in the ON position! (Took about 5-7 minutes)
Attachment 2467
You will see dash lights, it is normal
Attachment 2468
Right before 100% get ready to cycle the ignition key. It will prompt you.
You will get a message ECM write was successful. In the unlikely event it failed it will take you through another ECM write to stock programming.
after that you can try again.
-Emissions delete, minimum required:
Remove DPF (DPF and NOX pictured)
Attachment 2470
Check out the inlet to the NOX cannister! Full of Soot!
Attachment 2471
The outlet of the DPF is spotless! I was blown away to see zero deposits, ZZERO, nothing! The emissions stuff defiantly works
Attachment 2472
Remove air lines, you can use one of the hoses to plug the air switch. (this just keeps it clean)
Attachment 2458
Disconnect throttle valve and EGR (Recommended)
Start the truck!
Attachment 2469
My first impressions: The RaceME is very quick at startup! There are a TON of options for the gauges. You can view a lot of use-full information in real time.
I had a few quirks I noticed immediately after startup. Within the first couple ignition cycles I noticed some odd noises occasionally, it might have been the VGT. It went away after a few short trips and a couple more ignition cycles. Also, I noticed my EGR valve was still cycling open and closed! I made sure it was closed and unplugged it. No other weird stuff happened. Never had any check engine lights. The exhaust brake seemed to perform better after a few ignition cycles.
Other small details: The unit shuts off automatically when you turn off your truck. No external power is needed, it runs off your OBDII port. It does not need to be plugged in to operate the truck.
Un-related to the tuner: The exhaust is not too loud with the stock muffler and catalytic converter in the down-pipe. Turbo spool-up is much more noticeable. Also, the truck shakes a LOT more at shutoff. Apparently this is normal on deleted trucks. I did not expect this.
Hopefully tomorrow i can post a video of the screen and the different options
