So Ive got an 04 Mach 1 (after having a 5.0 for the last 8yrs with every bolton possible), and am not sure which company has the best tuner. A guy at work sold his 03 mach 1 and said all i have to do is send his Superchips hand held tuner to them and they'll download a new program. I dont know if thats true or not. Whats better...Superchips, Diablo, or SCT? and whats the diff??

It really depends on what the shops around you use, that is if they are going to be tuning you car now or later. I have an SCT XCal2 and love it. Its easy to use and alot of places use the SCTs.

I'd go with the Predator. It really gives you seamless throttle response and the system is easy to navigate. If you have mods on your car you'll really feel the difference after the tune.

I have the predator and like it and have heard nothing but good things about the SCT. The superchips on the other hand might not be the best choice.
Also, check with the tuners who are local to you. If you want a dyno tune and have the SCT and the only tuner around you uses predator then your stuck with mail order tunes, which aren't bad. Just another thing to help determine your choice of tuner.

SCT is the best option.
