Default Diablo VS SCT

I am leaning towards getting the Diablosport but was wondering if there are as many tuners out there as the SCT guys. And are they as good, and how much do you pay for additional tunes when you do mods later on.

The big names as I see them, Brenspeed, Evolution, Bamachips, all use SCT mainly.

But if you plan on going with a local tune shop, find out what they use.

Man, I couldnt agree more.

The most important fact is finding a really good local tuner that knows the product and how to use it.

If your running an automatic you'll want to go with SCT. They allow changing of the automatic shift pressures. To the best of my knowledge this feature is not available with the Predator. In fact......DUH.....I've got a Predator.........I know the feature isnt available.

Anyway you look at it, a custome tune will wake-up your Mustang.

I don't have any experience with the Predator, but I just got the SCT with custom tune from Brent at Brenspeed, and I'm thrilled. Really woke my 05 GT up.

Thanks alot guys. The SCT seems to be the favorite. I have a manual, so the shift times don't matter, but I move around quite a bit right now and don't have time to find a good tuner in each area I live in. I have to get the tunes E-mailed to me. I hear alot of guys rave about the brenspeed tunes.

Brenspeed and Bamachips rule the canned tunes arena, I'm running Bamachips and so far it has been awesome. Good luck choosing.

As pointed out, the guy programming them is the only thing that matters. Once you decide who you are going to use either canned or custom, you should go with the one they feel the most comfortable with and have the most expereince/knowledge with.

It just seems like the diablo has so many more functions that are usefull. The only reason I'm going to go with the SCT is the tuners that everyone swears by are SCT guys. If there is someone who knows a good tuner for the diablo let me know.
