Default SCT or Diablo

I wanted to go with the sniper tuner but unfortunately I don't have a windows computer. My next option would be to go with either the predator or the xcal 3. Are there any differences between the two? I do plan on getting the car dyno tuned eventually if that makes a difference.

Thanks guys

More tuners will want to use SCT, as far as the ability to tune the car correctly the principle is the same with SCT, Diablo, Sniper, and they all open up virtually the same tables.

I assume you have a Mac ? you could always dual boot with bootcamp.

I used to duel boot with mac.. FAK that. I hate windows and i couldnt stand the idea of it on my mac. I ended up getting an HP netbook to run my sniper software and datalog on.. runs like a champ.

I would get whatever tuner your local performance shop uses.

If you have a spare 300 to buy a netbook with windows on it i would go that route and get sniper. It works bad ***.

Why would you care? its separate partition and in no way alters the performance of OSX partition? Windows will perform very well on a newer Mac as it will run natively. Largely because a newer Mac is Intel based and hardware architecture wise isn't any different from the average PC ( quality is a different story)

My GF is the same way, she was not pleased when she came home to find me messing around with Advantage III on her Mac.

Time for bed.
