Superchips cannot be custom tuned, so I would stay away from it.

How much are you paying for diablo sport? Have you looked at EFILive or HPTuners? Both of these can do it all.

Save your $369 and spend it on Hp Tuners. Much better investement. You'll be selling that handheld in no time, or spending even more money getting it loaded with custom tuning. Skip it and get the best, Hp Tuners.

If you're going to do it right and use a wideband, I would suggest spending the extra money on the pro. It makes things a lot easier.
