if you are set on a tuner, i would look at a Superchips Tuning (dont confuse it with a Super Chips Micro Tuner, two different companies), with Jody Tipton's tunes on them. it is an alternative to getting a hard PCM chip.

i had an Edge Juice/attitude fueling box, stacked the Evolution tuner on it, and then went to a chip, and i will tell you that i will never go back to a flash tuner or fueling box!

I'd agree with Strokin -

also SKIP the Edge EZ - trust me - been there done that too....

There's an AWFUL LOT of us that have gone from tuners, and sold them for chips - I'd seriously consider a chip right out of the gate!!

Another vote to go straight for the chip. I had a Diablo Predator and the switch to a DP Tuner chip was quite amazing.

However, like strokin said, if you're set on the programmer, I'd get one with the DP tunes on it - The SCT XCal2.

Either way, I'd highly reccomend Jody's (DP Tuner) programming. Link here: http://www.dp-tuner.com/73tuning.htm Not only is his programming awesome, but DP Tuner is also a sponsor of FTE!! It's always good to buy from those vendors that help make this site possible.

I currently have the Predator, I hate it, and will be switching to one of Jody's chips as soon as I can afford to.

I feel like there's a humorous story behind this.
