I guess that leaves the Hypertech Power Programmer 3(HPP3). Its not too great but it will get the job done unless you want very advanced tuning. You could probally find a used one for cheap. I have one but its for an 01. Good Luck Man

i think you can hold off on any kinda of tuning unit until your mods require it. you just have a few bolt ons and with those the stock tuning will be fine.

when you do need tuning i suggest just biting the bullit and saving up for ls1edit or take it to a shop that has it. HPP3 is pretty much junk except for raising limiters and such, you'll get no good tuning out of it.

and ya it sucks diablo doesnt make its predator unit for 98's

and while your at it i'd pass on the MAF, to many problems for what is worth and the stock unit is fine. spend your money else where for mods.

Try cutouts, or change mufflers. Some say the Flowmasters are junk.
