Nothing at the moment it's just running like ****. I don't know what the deal is. My speedo won't go over 80 and my power is no where near what it should be. I'm on a budget so I just need something to check my codes, delete rear O2s, adjust speedo for my wheels etc etc. Just something to give it a little extra umph.

If you dead set on using a hand held over a custom tune get the Diablo sport hand held..

I second this! Diablo is pretty damn good and really woke-up my truck, but since i've added the e-fans and other stuff, i dont run the Diablo much anymore, waiting for a good tune and from who?

Dont waste your time with a handheld, at the least just get a mail order tune from one of the site sponsors. It will be cheaper and will perform much better.

If you do have your mind set on getting a handheld tuner do yourself a huge favor and go with the Diablosport, blows the Hypertech, etc... out of the water as far as how in depth you can go with it for a handheld.
