they're worth buying if you have a bunch of mods and need to adjust air/fuel ratio or spark advance. they're also handy to reprogram your speedo for a gear change and to read engine codes. if you've got a stock 2v, it's probably a waste of money. you may see some power gains from a more aggressive tune, but i doubt it's anything significant.

I purchased a SCT tuner from Brenspeed with there custom tunes. I bought the tuner for two reasons. I have a o/r h-pipe and my chk engine light is on and it's suppose to turn it off. Also I will be installing 3:73 gears later on this week and it will re-calibrate my speed odometer. If I gain any kind of hp it will beworth it. Once I put the gears in andupload thetuner I will post the results.

sct is better then diablo period, looks better too. and a tuner id def worth getting, if anybody else tells you otherwise its either because a.) they dont know anything about cars and tuning, b.) they dont have teh money to get one so they dont want you to have one.
