Anybody have any ideas on which programmer is performing the best with the 5.3's? Superchips or Diablo?

for the price you are going to pay for one of them you can get a custom tune for a few bucks more and will be a lot better. and where did you run that time. with only those mods. that is quick for those mods.

IMHO, you will get 2x the gain with the custom tune over a programmer.

I would have to agree with everone else, but if you want a hand held programmer the Superchips is awesome. I have one and it made a big differance. But a custom tune is alot better.

Custom Tune is the way to go. Or you can by my Predator and have it reset for $75.
