I have been reading a lot of information on tunes and see that the most common three are SCT, Diablo and Sniper. Of course there are some out their that are running dyno tunes, but I am more interested in the hand helds. So that being said what tune do you have and why? And any other information that you think would be relevent to the reason you have chosen the one you have.

I have the H0SS302 tune. AKA the best one on the market.

I started off with special forces and upgraded to commando. Tuning yourself is cheaper in the long run and easy to do.

FYI all dynotuners still use SCT,diablo, Delta Force, Tweecer..ect. A dyno tune is just taking your car and having someone tune it for you with more advanced software than a handheld.

EDIT: I should rephrase.. tuning is easy AFTER you read up on some basic subjects.

I have SCT but I wish I had Sniper....

That HOSS302 tune may be OK for your car, however I use the CIKoolK tune--developed with Delta Force Commando--and ample use of a certain State Road 305, about 5 miles west of here, that has a nice 3 mile+ dead straight run through the potato fields. There are also several readings of John Heywood's Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals, Greg Banish's Engine Management: Advanced Tuning, and 45+ years of tinkering involved.

A dynamometer is just a convenient tool for gaging the impact of changes made to the tune--there's no magic about it and one could argue that tying down the car on a set of rollers, and using a fan blowing air through the radiator, is a poor substitute for running on a real track (or deserted road through the potato fields)--convenient, but hardly the same thing...

Sniper Delta Force. Paid a tuner to do it.

diablo - got it cheap for my other car (01 auto v6) but just swapped it to this car.
i have the canned tune (dont know if it did anything seeing as the first day i got the car i uploaded the tune) but i use it to tune traction off, raise the speed limiter (dont even ask bc i dont drive that fast. its just bc i can) and i will be using it if i ever get gears. I'm sure its good for something though.

I wish i had the knowledge/money for the sniper

i CAn ave the basic Diablo 93 tune for their handheld(came with the car when i got it) but since i have an Xcal2 laying around im thinking of switching to that after i pay to get it unlocked

i have the car tuned stock right now....winter is coming...no need to have a "performance" tune calling for premium gas. ill leave that for the summer.

Ive got an SCT Xcal 3 with a mild street tune in her. Street tunes are where its at. Still professionally done, but it will give you real world testing and configuration to do well on the street.
