Default handheld tuners

Ok so i hear Hypertechs not the tuner to go with, and i hear that Diablo is a much better tuner? is this true? And if so what is it that makes Diablo better? I'd really love to be able to bring my AFR down a little is my main priority. Other than that I have a 98 A4 Z28 w/ LTs & Xpiped duals with a FTRA and lid for mods. Other than the 17x11/315 tires out back w/ the 2.73 gears

Diablo is better due to it having more features and you can get diffrent tunes from them depending on the mods you have done. There is a guy named James (runnin' with the devil) that is the man to talk to when it comes to Diablo. Crane also has a fairly new handheld programmer that has alot of nice features, I believe Vinci -> sponcer helped Crane develope some of the LSX feartures with them so you might want to get in contact with them.

I don't think any of those are available for a 98.

Diablo can't figure out the 98's or does not want to.

you can go with the Vinci for the 98 cars, as they just released it.
