Neither are best. Both are good. Just need to pick one.

I believe both can be purchased thru Motor Haven. Our primary benefactor.

I've towed with the Predator @100 w/ no issues. Towed w/ the New SCT and had issues. Just got new tunes from them and haven't had a chance to try them yet.

We sell lots of the Predators and Superchips, it really depends on if you want/need the diagnostic features of the Predator or not. It will allow you to drive and see the diagnostics as you drive, it will also record up to 30 minutes of drive time too so you can load that on a laptop and use it to show the dealer what is or isn't happening etc. The prices are the same too so look into the diagnostic features and call us. We stock them both and have a GUARANTEED pricing program as well.

LOL.
Spoken like a true duramax owner...


All you need is a tuner, a 4wd brake loaded launch and a lead foot.
After you beat him, you can brag about how nice your truck shifts =o)

There are actually a number of threads I've talked about this in.

Do a search; if I find what thread it was, I'll post it.
