Default which performance programmer to get???

Hi guys i'm new in this forum, i was wondering if you could tell me which programmer would work on my car with my moddss.. I have a 97' GT with 3.73 ford racing gears and 18" wheels, an after market X-pipe which turned my check engine light on, and i'm also thinking doing the PI swap this month, i'll really appreciate whatever advice you could provide me and thanks...

Get the SCT it has everything the Diablosport has plus more. Also, u might want to get an aftermarket pair of O2 sensors for ur check engine light.

Diablo and SCT are pretty even best thing to due is find you local tunner and find out what they use, it will save you alot if you ever want a dyno tune.

Never stray from the ford O2 sensors I have heard alot of bad things about putting in aftermarket ones. Tunner or MIL eliminators to turn off that check engine light

I have only used the diablo. I really like it because it has tons of features and really user friendly.

Why would he get new 02 sensors if he's getting a tuner?? The tuner takes away the cel.

True, but the check engine light can be a good thing, for instance when my #7 coil went out and it came on and started flashing, and then lookin in the manual it said a flashing check engine light=very very bad.

turning off your cel with a programmer or mil eliminators because of an offroad pipe does not disable the cel it still works for all other codes.
