welcome...sct3 is most likely going to be your best handheld, though there are other out there...Check Brenspeed, American Muscle, ect for tuning excellence...and a saying you'll get used to here...Pics or it didn't happen!

The handheld is just the hardware to load custom tunes and store your stock tune. It'll only allow you to change a few minor parameters. We buy custom tunes written specifically for our car's PCM; that's the big gain. A good CAI & custom tune will net you 20-25 RWHP. The SCT XCAL3 is one of the more popular tuners. Check out Brenspeed an American Muscle (AM) websites.

Welcome to the board!
I too use the SCT.
From what I understand, the Diablo is also a very good unit; more features than the SCT one.
Now the fun part: finding a tuner.
Some great tuners are Bama (what I use), Brenspeed, Steeda, and several more that slip my mind at the moment.
