Yeah get the Diablo sport tuner. I made the mistake of ordering the superchips trituner from rpm. And it doesnt work. Why they would only make one for the 3.9 and not the 3.8 I dont know. They claim there was higher demand to make one for the 3.9s than the 3.8s. I had to send it back and get the Diablo. Its worth it. The best thing Ive done to the car so far.

If you plan on going forced induction the SCT Xcal2 is the best tuner. Its better for tuning with SCs b/c the diablo requires that you send the tuner to them with your application so they can reprogram it and send it back through mail. Thats taking a chance. When I get an SC I will have to dump the diablo for a SCT because thats what the dyno shop here tunes with. They dont tune with diablo for the reason I mentioned above. Having to send it to them.
