Need some advice on tuner

[rryangta]

I just recently purchased a 2003 GT and it already has catback exhaust, short throw shifter and K&N filter. I was gonna purchase a programmer and was wondering what one is the best? I heard the Diablosport Predator is good and so is the SCT XCAL. Which one is better and gives the most hp?

hp maybe same but I got SCT Xcal and happy with it. Most of the tuner now a days used SCT cause of more tunning and user friendly . Get SCT . FTW

Another vote for SCT. You may want to check and make sure thats what your local tuner uses or the tuner that you may want to tune your car uses. It might not be a big deal now but if/when the time comes you need a custom tune it will be. Most tuners now use SCT so you have quite a few more choices for tuners if you go with SCT.

A lot of people use SCT but i went with Sniper Tuning. I like it. They back there product up 110%. Its all personal opinion and what you really want out of your car and future plans.

thanks guys for the info, i just asked because i had a liightning before and had a predator tuner and it was ok and just wanted to know if the SCT was better. Does a new throttle body and plenum make a big difference?

I've the the XCal2 as well.

The SCT tuner has more control parameters than the Predator and most tuners prefer the SCT programming software. That's why it's so popular.

No a TB/Plenum wont make a big difference but a set of gears will 4.10s or 3.73s
