As far as the diablo goes I have never used it so I have no first hand knowledge. All that I know about it is that people say the 93 tune is good while others have put their trucks on the dyno and found the diablo canned tunes to be equal to other tuner's canned tunes. I am sure that someone with the diablo will chime in.
alright man thanks for the help. im probably gonna pass on the deal bc i saw one sold the other day for 220. but i was too slow and it got taken. i am leaning towards sc bc of the tunes and bc i heard diablo is good when you have a lot of engine mods which i dont plan on doing

Hahahaha. I think that guy said he was going to try to sell it outside the forum but that is definitely the place to look. I got one off there for $200 once for my pops and one for myself off ebay for $180. So good deals are out there, you just got to be ready bc they don't last.

How much do you drive? It costs me a whopping $15/month to run 3 tanks of 93 vs. 3 tanks of regular. Why get something to improve performance (assuming you're using that performance) and then not get all the power you could be getting?

I don't believe for a minute that any performance tune nets better mileage than stock. Auto makers work extremely hard on mileage that it's usually their top priority in a tune. I'll take all the power I can get - I earn my average 11 mpg!

I am pretty sure the 08's are covered by Superchips now.
