I went with CNL's racer CAI and Diablo Predator from RPMOUTLET.com was the best price and in this pack you can choose from all the tuners Diablo, SCT, or Sniper and you can choose which CAI you want. It runs about $500 give or take a few bucks for shipping. I installed mine and LOVE it! I went with Dibalo because the tuners in my area only tune with that but I am sure you will find those that feel the same about SCT so its up to you. I do recommend the CNL racer CAI though.

I would not spend a 1/2 penny at RPMoutlet. I have both bama and brenspeed, with xcal2. I prefer brenspeeds tune over bama actually but both are top notch tuners and thier tunes reflect that. Also I'm not sure about now but thier was a time when SCT was more widely supported then predator.

The most important thing is to find a good shop that you trust getting tunes from. Once you select where you want to get your tunes from, they will prefer a handheld. The handhelds are pretty competitive so whatever they are using I'm sure you will be happy with. The tuner can lock/unlock many parameters in the handheld. Hopefully they have many of the features unlocked to give you some adjustment room. -Joe

Well said. Rule of thumb is find the guy who is going to tune it first and buy what he tells you...

More people use SCT than anything else, that i've seen. But, i purchased my diable long before i knew much about the tuners. The diablo isn't bad, but i had to drive about 2 hours to get it dyno tuned.
