Default On the Fence SC or Diablo

Help, can't decide which one. Was going to go with SC cause it was a little cheaper but now with fasthemi's deal I'm all confused again. Anything that makes one better or is it just personal preference? I have a 2007 Ram 1500 5.7 litre with a CAI. I plan on adding a MagnaFlow muffler and maybe a new y-pipe in the future.
If I just stay with the preloaded tunes what does that do for me?

What are you planning on doing with your truck? Keep it stock, basic bolt ons, engine internal mods? What year is your truck? Post up more info and it will make it easier to determine what is the best fit for you.

Since they're close to the same price i'd get the predator...and that's not being bias because I own one. Let's just say they both have the same options user adjustability wise (which they don't yet)...the predator allows custom tunes and the SC doesn't. So say in the future you decide to put a supercharger on your hemi or put a cam in...you'll need a custom tune and the SC will be useless. And again..since they're around the same price why not?

I wonder how long it'll take Superchips to do a reversal on their CARB compliance policy. They were all set to offer custom tunes before the MSD buy-out. My bet is between SCT and Diablo cutting into the market share, they'll have to offer it soon as well...

Although, that may be a reason for some to opt for the Superchips, it's the only one to my knowledge which is CARB certified..... Not that it does me any good with LT Headers...
