That's a good one...to say that just about everyone here is happy with their Nelson tunes is an understatement.

I just got a PCMforLess tune and I'm extatic! Heard pretty much nothing but raves about Nelson also.

I must say the Nelson tune is GREAT! I can't believe I have waited this long to get it. As far as which is better between the two tunes, jow02327 has the Diablo and rode with me at the dragway the other day, you can ask him yourself which is better if you want. I could also save you the time and tell you that he's about to drop the Diablo and get the Nelson as soon as he can because the Diablo has been causing some serious problems with his truck.

hell yes, go with the nelson i dont think it is that expensive i talked to allen on the phone the other day and he said it was 425. and dino tune was 490 with free upgrades. i have figured out the diablo and pretty happy with it but i cant remove torque managment or adjust for new mods. when i tune it and dont run 93 octane and a 104 booster it has a little tick. nothing bad but it ticks. i think it needs the air/fuel mixture adjusted.
