What is the best programmer you can get for the $. Everyone talks about Diablo but they seem pretty high. Don't they all pretty much do the same thing. And what kind of gains are you seeing?

HMUSN · September 5th, 2007, 08:15 PM

either SCT of Diablo.

they are both great tuners.

I suggest you see what your local speed shop tunes with before you buy one.

gains depend on mods.

an SCT claims 19rwhp on a stock 99-04 GT

00SlvrStang · September 5th, 2007, 08:41 PM

+1 I say go with what your tuner likes/uses. I use SCT and like it, but I've never used a Diablo.

04gtvert · September 5th, 2007, 08:50 PM

What about Hypertech? Summit has them for $300.

00SlvrStang · September 5th, 2007, 08:52 PM

I don't know about them, but SCT XCal 2 is only a little more than that.

04gtvert · September 5th, 2007, 08:53 PM

where did u get it?

it's crap.

04gtvert · September 5th, 2007, 08:54 PM

Ok so which is better SCT or Diablo?

00SlvrStang · September 5th, 2007, 08:54 PM

Go on their website and find a local tuning shop. Usually if you buy from them they'll throw in some good tunes. I bought mine locally here in TX.

00SlvrStang · September 5th, 2007, 08:55 PM

They both are good. It's just a matter of personal preference and what you can get tuned local.

04gtvert · September 5th, 2007, 08:55 PM

My local shop does PCM tunes for $125 but I'd just like to have my own so every time I do a mod I don't have to have it retuned.

00SlvrStang · September 5th, 2007, 08:57 PM

If you buy a handheld it also has features like datalogging, which you won't get with a PCM tune from that shop.

04gtvert · September 5th, 2007, 09:03 PM

American Muscle has SCT for $380 and Diablo for $400. Looks like I've got some research to do!

HMUSN · September 5th, 2007, 09:04 PM

it's $379

04gtvert · September 5th, 2007, 09:09 PM

Do either of them come with preprogrammed tunes?

HMUSN · September 5th, 2007, 09:10 PM

they should.

weems · September 5th, 2007, 09:10 PM

it depends on where you buy the xcal from...

00SlvrStang · September 5th, 2007, 09:12 PM

XCal 2 comes blank unless they are added by whomever you buy it from.

04gtvert · September 5th, 2007, 09:13 PM

There's not a dealer locally at least for xcal so I'd have to order it online.

blue03mach1 · September 5th, 2007, 09:13 PM

how do u get things added? like you tell them what u want? or what/
