So, I've finally decided to get a handheld tuner for my car. I've always thought of myself getting the Diablosport Predator, but after flipping through a few old posts, it looks like the SCT Xcal is the preferred one. Which one does everyone use, and which one is more reccomended? Also, where are the best deals on either one? I know we get that small discount from Partshopper on one of them. I'd like to finally adjust my speedo for my gears, too!

go with SCT. SCT is the leader in tuning right now and they are growing.

If you are going to play with it yourself I would get the diablo predator. If you want to at some point in time get a custom tune get the Xcal 2. Most of the best tuners use SCT software, but imo if you are using the box tune the predator is more user friendly to make changes.
