Default BEST TUNER?

I'm looking to buy a tuner and was wondering what everyone's opinion is on what the best tuner to get is.

From my research the best tuner user friendly hand held programmer is the SCT X3 because it has several options. Alot of people recommend Sniper Software, but I think it is alot more in depth into tuning. Hope that helps. Plus I have a friend w/ the diablo and he wasnt very pleased with it plus it to mean doesnt have the options the sct x3 has...injectors and mass airflow...

SCT is the best out there right now. The dude that came up with SCT worked for Ford writing their computers.

Sniper hands down. SCT and Diablo have years of work ahead of them to catch up to Sniper. Don't listen to the guys that don't have sniper that say its too in depth. I could give my 8 y/o son the list of mods and he could make a tune with sniper. For it costing the same as SCT and Diablo I really don't know why people would get anything else. I have a diablo that just collects dust now because I can't use it and none of my friends want to buy it cause I tuned their cars with sniper.

Ox, is the sniper just really options you select? or do you have to mess around with maps and stuff? that is why I wasnt sure about it.....and also can you do everything that sct does example disable o2 sensors and what not?<-ok done research and yes you can do everything and more...maybe this is the way to go wow didnt know you could do all that cool stuff. Here is a link on youtube some guy setup to make a run through of how to use it. Sorry video kinda but overall gives you an idea....

The commando software will give you alot more adjustability, and you should know what your doing before you mess with that program. It will let you mess with alot more things than the SF. Get the SF its more user friendly.
