Default Which programmer?

I have a 99 C5 vararam intake, borla stinger 2 catback, and have was wondering if it is worth getting a hand held programmer to improve gas milage and hp? If it is which is the best?

If you are looking at a full tuning solution not just a canned tune or handheld check out our software/hardware package starting at only $499

I'd recommend our Predator or Trinity tuner for that application.

They come with preloaded tunes for a stock or mildly modified application, and allow you to make adjustments to the tune yourself if needed. Both support custom tuning should you decide to modify the car in the future.

They both have datalogging capabilities as well as diagnostic functions.

Trinity adds a full color touch screen monitor, with on screen gauges, a virtual dragstrip, SD card support, and more


Thanks
Mike

I picked up a used diablo sport u9178 for 160.00 in the for sale section. Just make sure it's unlocked/fully restored. Thats all you need for a bolton/ mild cam setup. I think hp tuners is the way to go if your have more than 1 vehicle to tune...other than that the predator has your needs covered.
