I think he was referencing simply a diablo sport chip for your OBDI stang, as opposed to the predator hand-held tuner for OBDII applications.

oh i didnt know they made them for the OBD I's? So what would be better the diablo? tweecer? or DFI? but for now i'll spend the $400.00 or so and do the SCT chip and tune. peace

Theres no way you need DFI yet your far from that plus its like over 2grand If I remember right. Just get the SCT chip from Chung and have him make you a street tune and a Nitrous tune for your car and you'll be set.

whats your fp at, i assume you arent running cats either right? cause your car will smell rich if you are standing next to it for sure.
