its all about who writes the tunes your going to use on the handheld tuner, not the tuner itself. im using bamachip tunes on a SCT and i've been 100% satisfied with them.

Can of worms here- both SCT and Diablosport are used by many people.

so if i go on to bamachips and order a SCT. i should put in it all the mods i have on my car and wat kind of tunes i want. so that they will make a custom tune for me on the handheld SCT so all i would have to do is download it to my car. is this right. like am new to this and i have already put mods on the myself but there not tuned and my friends say i need to get it tune so i can put out the most horsepower on the mods i have in the car.

Can of worms until you want your local Dyno Tuner to tune it for you.
Get a tuner that your local Dyno Tuner supports and you cant go wrong.

The handheld tuner is just the hardware you use to upload the software. Neither Diablo or SCT (or any other) have anything to DO with the amount of horsepower. It's the quality of the tune. For now, short of a dyno tune, Bama and Brenspeed are 2 of the better vendors that write tunes. Bama supports both SCT and Diablo. Brenspeed supports SCT only. Do your homework.

which ever one is cheaper,they will both get you the same hp,they both do the same thing....each one has different pros and cons but do basicaly the same thing.id recomend figuring out who you want to do your tunes and go with what ever they support.
