Which is better SCT, Diablo or HyperTech?

[JamGtStang]

The reason I'm asking this is because I'm about to get a programer to tune my car but before I do that I wanted some opinions to see which one is better for my application (I'm running nitrous) or any application it does not matter

I know alot of people swear by SCT but just wanted to hear some opinions from those that have HyperTech or the Predator

Whats the basic difference between the three of them I know there are alot of people that would like to know this.

Cons/Pro

How difficult is to tune a car?

Which one is better for nitrous?

Which one is better for all motor?

Which one is better for supercharged applications?

Are they street tunning or you have to go to a dyno?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I dont why people talk bad about the tech forums @ stangnet I mean they are so full of information

I have the diablo predator and im still figuring out the whole use of it because im a little car illiterate, ive never used the others but the predator does the basics like timing, gear change, shift pts ect. i believe the chips work the same way. But eventually its probably best to just get a dyno tune as for which company to choose from I couldn't tell you, hope this helps a little

hahaha laying the sarcasm on pretty thick.

Anyways, if it were me I'd go the SCT route. Reasons: I've read a lot of posts about people who have the diablo chip or programmer who are still working out the bugs... and not very many posts about power gains with the diablo.

On the other hand we have SCT, which I've almost nothing bad about. Instead of programming myself, I'd get several programs put on that chip and switch between them when I needed.

Id get a 87 octance program, a 93 program, and a 93 w/ nitrous...

I'd recomend the sct chip that you can switch between tunes at a stop light, the programmers would require you to hook up your programmer in order to change to the nitrous program, also the diablo only holds 1 custom tune on the predator at a time, the sct tuner 3 I think but you still have to hook it up in order to run your nitrous. With the chip with the switch it would be a lot more convenient with nitrous. You should probably get a dyno tune. diablo also makes a flip chip.

I've noticed that they are listed for 99 + stangs. Do they make any that work with 96-98's?
