If you are going to buy a tuner, get LS1 edit or HP tuner. I really like HP tuner, it has many more features and isn't locked to one car.

To answer your question, the Diablosport is the better handheld in terms of overall capability and support.

No question. I use HPTuners, but if you're going to buy a handheld tuner, the Predator is the best hands down.

HPTuners is an excellent choice for software. My car was tuned with EFILive which is also very capable. LS1edit is sweet, but very expensive and I already pay very huge bucks for licensed software with my profession.

I agree with AOC. Hypertech IS a waste of $350.00!!! Really, I would'nt take one if Hypertech gave them away for free. Hypertech= Garbage!!!!

If your going to go with a handheld, get a predator. But I think you'd be much better off going to one of the sponsors, and having them tune it on the dyno, and I bet you'd see atleast as much if not more power to the wheels.
