they're basically identical in proformance gains. there is no which tuner is " better." all depends on what you want. both can be customized, but sct doesn't come with "generic" tunes preloaded, on the other hand diablo does. thats the difference pretty much.

They are basically the same. Neither one is better. Flip a coin..

Actually, there are SCT tuners that come pre-loaded with tunes. They're called the Strategy flash device. The X-cal's actually come blank, and the shop you are buying it from has pre-loaded it for you.

You're best bet is to find out what your local tuning shop prefers. I went with SCT because Wild Pony motorsports is an SCT dealer, and that's what Derrin specializes in. They also seem to be in greater circulation. With any parts I buy I think ahead about customer service issues down the road. Which will be around? Which do more people deal with?

I went with SCT. It depends though because places like B ama chips will sell you custom tunes (who i have heard are VERY VERY good) already loaded on a predator tuner... I am pretty sure that you can still download the tunes off of websites and it works for either tuner. Like Arwing said.... flip a coin?
