look to the right and pick a tuner or pick your choice of software if you want options. anything else will be a waste of money! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The diablo was OK but since I picked up the HP Tuners I would never consider another handheld. The nice thing aout the Diablowas the ability to remove tourque management and increase line pressure for the tranny but I agree with Truckshop. Get a tune from Nelson, Wheatley, ect... I think the results will far surpass anything you will gain from the handheld units.

Never used the Bully Dog but the Diablo seemed to have a few more options than the Superchips and Hypertech units if that helps.

wheatley i know will send you a new tune free of charge everytime you add another mod to your truck. and its not much more than a handheld would be anyway

im going to go live dyno tune once i get all the other mods done. right now all i have is cai and no muffler. will be doing cam, headers, no cats, tru duals, different maf & tb, and possibly intake, and nitrous. so right now i think a hand held will be fine? dont you guys?

You heard wrong.

If you are going to buy HPT in the future just buy it now.
