diablo predator or superchips those are pretty much the 2 main ones. I personally have had a diablo and had no complaints so im a little biased. Theres not really any big difference in the 2 though.

I have the predator because it can do so many different things and you don't have to install anything.

It just plugs into the ODB-II port and you follow the onscreen prompts. It downloads and stores your factory tune and you can re-install it at any time......like if you have to take it in for warranty work

you can find the tuner anywhere from $300-450 depending on the site and how hard you want to look for the lowest price.

If it is just a regular generic aftermarket chip it will be 100 percent usless. Mail order chips do virtually nothing on anything but a totally stock car, and even then they don't make much power.

I had a diablo mail order and it was acutally killing about 10 RWHP when I was at full boltons (no cams). The stock program was doing a better job (I was to rich).

that's why i got the tuner. I would have gone with a dyno tune but I still have alot more mods to do and like the flexibility......the predator lets you adjust lean/rich.
