Default Diablo? SCT live wire?

hey guys just got my 98 cobra, and was looking into getting a tuner of some kind, just wondering what you guys are running, how well it works, and the worth of it, i am not looking for an expensive unit, just something that will help me monitor/adjust the car as mods start going on it, thanks for the help

the livewire is an expensive unit and i didn't get it because i'd use the data features like once and then the novelty will wear off and be a waste of 200 extra bucks. stick with the diablo or xcal. i have an xcal2 and i can definitely tell a difference (note i have other mods too)

SCT is the best, I've had both. If you have the cash for the livewire then go with it.

I've got the predator and I am very happy with it and all the parameter I can adjust with it. I think between the SCT or Diablosport you should go with whichever your local dyno shop uses

Honestly, I would go with a SCT Xcal2... you can actually find them used pretty cheap because people are shelling out for the livewire... I picked mine up $150.00 and it wasn't married to a car.. so I just paid the $150.00 + tuning. Much better then 379.00 + tuning for a brand new xcal2/Diablo unit... and MUCH better then 600+Tuning for a livewire... lol
