Default anyone use a bully dog programmer or watch dog

I have an 08 hemi and Im wanting a programmer that I can mount on my dash what do you guys recommend? My truck is still under warranty so if it voids it I may just put a bully dog watch dog on because I like the idea of it. Does anyone have one and if you do what do you think about it?

Diablo makes the best for the HEMI motor, but I got a bullydog (before checking on forums for which is best) Only use economy mode with the bullydog. they have the spark advance set to over 50 degrees advance at only 2500 rpm on the performance setting which will destroy your motor. Best thing the Bullydog has is a gague that tells you engine load, throttle position, and other useful things like that, but I believe everyone gives you those.

If you just like the idea of the watch dog...check out the Superchips iHawk. Have to have an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad but it's about half the price of the watch dog. I have one and love it.

thanks for your help ya I read that the diablo is a good one and of course superchips. I would just like to get one that mounts on my dash. I think I may have seen a diablo one that mounts to the dash but if I remember correctly it was like 600 bucks lol. Cool I have never heard of it ill check it out thanks for telling me about it.

what tuners offer the tuner to be mounted to the dash. I know theres tons of them for diesels but ive only found bullydog and I think a diablo for an 08. Is there any other ones out there besides those 2? If im gonna buy one I really want one that mounts on my dash.

Both of those are more geared towards Diesels.
They Both have basic canned tunes for Gassers.
Diablo and SC have Dyno proven tunes for our trucks with plenty more options.
