Yes the predator has this feature. They are almost completely identical just one is SCT and one is diablosport. The reason most ppl use SCT is b/c most well known tuners use SCT software. As far as personal use I'd go predator. If you are a dyno warrior and REALLY race and constantly need to retune then SCT is your deal.

For data logging, but there is no end-user tuning software like with SCT.

Frankly, I think you are wasting your oney. Go to a performance shop and get a SuperChip and a tune. Mine was $400 with tune. The shop that did it really know their shiit, make sure they do. Their professional SCT tuners have 100 times the features. And when you start messing with A/F curves and timing tables, you dont want to be guessing. With headers, Xpipe and a professional tune, I picked up a half a second in the quarter .

Well you can advance the timing with an SCT tuner more than a predator. I just had this delema yesterday, I just purchased a SCT Xcalibrator2 from mustang tuning, there making a tune for my car based on my modifications. I asked the guy which is the better one, and the tech there said its the SCT, everyone there owns one, its just more powerful. Plus the biggest seller for me is that I have a laptop and eventually I am going to buy the SCT Pro Racer Tuning software and be able to fine tune everything and record everything and upload new tunes to the Xcalibrator 2 and then flash the PCM with it. Hopefully I will get my SCT Xcalibrator on friday and I will post how I like it.
