Heres a question, if you buy a power programmer, do you still need to buy a performance chip as well??

I know I sound stupid, but I dont want to waste money if I can help it.

 

No there in all eccense basically the same thing.

The chip has a pre-burned program on it to work with your setup.

A programmer you plug into your OBD II port and upload the tune. On some programmers you can alter things like gear ratio, tire/rim size, timing, etc. In my opinion a programmer is superior because it has more adjustability. Plus you can have multiple tunes on it. An economy tune for if you plan on going on a road trip to save on gas, a performance tune well for performance, and other tunes that would include mods you plan on adding in the future.

Lastly the programmers usually have a diagnostic code reader so you can see what codes your car is throwing, and you can clear the codes.

 

no one or the other programmer they canemail you tunesand a chip has to be taken out to be reburned for new mods. most people go with sct programmer

 

posted before me damn!!lol

 

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! My sinister plan worked! I stopped time briefly to hold your post back! Thank you doc brown!

 

you bastard!!!!! lolol

 

i should have typed faster

 

Cool, the sct is the one I want, but the diablosport is a little cheaper LOL

 

sct all the way ive heard that diablosport can have problems and tech help sucks.

 

I've seen Steeda use the Diablosport firsthand on a Cobra when the Cobra first came out. I thought it was very user friendly and when used on a dyno picked up a boatload of power.

I can't mention about the customer service end of it because I've never had to deal with them directly.
