Default Which Programmer

My wife has a 2007 Mustang GT and I'm gonna get her a cold air intake and a programmer. For the programmer should I go with the Diablosport Predator or the SCT X3 ? Is one better than the other, does it even matter, etc.? I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm getting the 95mm C&L intake. I love that this is my wife's car, so I can play it off as if I'm really getting this for her. LOL

i think the diablo has the advantage, when
it comes to transferring tunes between
the tuner and a pc (SCT no can do).

i have the SCT though and i'm very happy with
it. both would work fine.

It will also depend on the tuner you are working with if you go with someone outside of Diablo and SCT which I do recommend by the way. Brenspeed for example only supports SCT so that could make a difference in your selection.

+1
What ever the local tuner/dyno guy uses is what you need
to buy brand wise if you ever plan on getting a CUSTOM Dyno
tune instead of a mail order CANNED general population use tune.
