I want to get a tuner. SCT and Diablo seem to be the most recommended. I want to know what exactly they can do to make more power in the engine. Can they change shift points or firm up shifts? (I have an automatic obvisously) What else can they do? (other than clear codes and adjust for tire size) Previous best is 13.39 on a hot August day. Now I've added some Flows and I might change the plugs and go to a 100shot. Cant afford new tires yet and thats hurtin my 60ft bad. Hoping for my first 12sec pass before I leave. The cold air this time of year should help __________________ Mods: H-pipe, no cats, 1 chamber Flowmasters, NX 75shot, 13.30 @104. Coming next spring: 4.10 gears, SCT X3, D/R's, mid 12's

with a tuner, you can adjust your timing, fuel delivery, gear ratio, firm up shift points, data log, check for codes, adjust for tire and wheel size, turn off O2 sensors if you have an off road mid pipe. either of the 2 you mentioned are good. Sniper also makes a good product from what i hear. check out local tuners and dynos in your area and see what tuner they are using. that would be the best way to go, so as you add mods, they can write you a custom tune on the dyno.
a tuner will also allow you to get more out of the mods you have. like i said, check out the shops in your area and see what they are using...

Does one offer more than the other? Is one easier to use? The main reason I want a tuner is to firm the shifts points, fuel delivery, and retard timing since Im spraying __________________ Mods: H-pipe, no cats, 1 chamber Flowmasters, NX 75shot, 13.30 @104.
