Diablo vs. Superchips Question.....

Hello all, first time poster here just looking for a little advice for my 2000 F-250 7.3L.

Does anyone have an opinion on which device is better, the Diablo or Superchips? Also, do either one of them offer an increase in fuel milleage or are they simply performance enhancers? Thanks for any help.

Both are solid programmers. The Diablo has more features, a lot more. The Superchips supports more years. Diablo tends to have more low end pull, Superchips more top end pull. Both tend to give a 2-4 mpg mileage increase provided that you don't have a lead foot.

Final Recommendation?

So if I am not interested in all the features but really just looking for a device to hook up and go, do you have one you would recommend for what I would consider normal driving. Thanks again for your input.

It boils down to personal preference. I have the predator, I like the extra options, the bigger display screen, and the low end torque. The SCMT is good, I just elected to buy the diablo.
