Default diablo or superchips?

whats up guys just joined the forum and was wondering which tuner should i go with? i have a 06 gxp and will do a cold air intake and 3" catted down pipe and exhaust install all around the same time. what are the pros and cons to each one? do both have the ability to shut off your top speed limiter? and i have never bought a tuner before so no experience so basically which one is easier to use. superchips said it could add 14 ponies but cost 50 bucks more. help would be appreciated

I would check into local dyno tuners. You will get a much greater yield from a custom tune than a premade one.

You could go with the Diablosport and contact Lew for a tune.

you can get the Diablo Predator for $299, brand new, full warranty, from a diablosport authorized dealer/reseller concoursdirect.com...

the new Trinity also supports our cars... I have one for mine

and as LS1_Racing said (thanks man!) - I do full custom tunes for the Predator and Trinity, since I am a diablosport CMR tuner and have their tuning software... so I can get your car all dialed in with a custom tune...

can't do that with a superchips...

Hey. I Have a DiabloSport Predator I will sell you for $150.00. I am in Bloomington, IL. There is a shop in Clinton with a dyno and they can make you a tune for it. Also Lew (06monteSS) can help you out a lot with it. I have heard nothing but great things about his tunes.
