Default Which Tuner can turn off PATS and would be good for a S/C

I want to turn off PATS and plan on getting a Supercharger & Longtubes within the next month. There are no dynos or tuners in my area. Which one would be better?

BTW my car is an 02 GT Vert

I was thinking about that but I dont know if I have the knowledge to do my own tunes and not blow my car up lol. Is the Sniper setup pretty user friendly?

from what i read it is. I dont have any experience using it, but its the only tuning software that would allow you to tune your car yourself after a supercharger install. were are you located theres gotta be a tuner near you???

Hey man I am also looking to buy a S/C and I was told that it is a must that you get a good tune.. I really don't think a hand held would be the best way to go. It would be a shame to spend all of the money and you didn't get a good tune...

If you are going to someone for the tune they probably use SCT but maybe Diablosport. If you are doing it yourself use sniper. They have good customer service and will walk you through it. I heard it makes a decent base supercharger tune.

Im probably going to do Sniper. The only dyno around here doesnt have sct or diablo theyre mostly dealing with Vette's. Im going to order Sniper on Monday and play with it for a bit before I order the S/C.

I'll let you know if it actually makes a good base tune when I get my freaking air/fuel gauge working correctly.
