Which Tuner?
I have a 2007 Mustang GT with a couple of mods. K&N CAI, Hurst STS, Hooker O/R X Pipe, and Magnapack Inline Mufflers. I dynoed at 295RWHP and 305RWTQ on a Mustang Dyno at Murillo Mortorsports in San Antonio TX. Ok now I need to know which Tuner I should go with. Either the Diablo which I can get for around $230 or the Sniper Tuner for around $370.

SCT xcal 3. i just purchased one used for 250 shipped. I tossed my diablosport and I have to say the xcal 3 is much nicer and more user friendly.

i have heard that about my numbers. but i had no affliation to the shop that did it and it has been dynoed at TWO different shops because everyone said that. first dyno was 295hp 305tq and the second was 293hp 303tq. i have vids up on you tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlqxz8ZA2BY]YouTube - Red s197 GT Dyno. Where did you get an SCT for 250shipped?

RE: Which Tuner?
I bought it 250 shipped used from a forum members. I got a good deal, you just gotta look out for them and give them a counter offer of what they want...
the SCT was much easier to plug into the computer and get tunes mailed to you. I dont think there is any difference in HP between the two because they can easily be custom tuned by a shop and end up with nearly the same results.
What I liked about the SCT was I could tell it what intake I had, if you have the CMCV delete, etc. so it would know how to modify the tune. I don't remember seeing that in the diablo, so you would have to go to a shop or online and pay for a custom tune. There may or may not be an update for the diablo to address this, but I am not sure.
