Personally, right now I prefer to use SCT, as I feel they offer the best flashers and software.

I didnt know that everybody is. They are almost the same. As longs as I can tune shift points and air/fuel. I am happy.

I've had my predator for 3+ years now and love it. The only reason I can imagine somebody would "dump" their predator for an SCT is because they switched tuners and the new tuner only works with SCT products.

probably because it can hold 3 tunes as opposed to 1. so you can have a dd tune, a full race tune, and a spray tune all on the same tuner if you wanted

This is the reason I got rid of my Predator.

I have both, however my current tuner uses SCT. The Predator has the best OBD II live readout, at least until SCT Livewire is mature.

Justin is my tuner (Justin00stang) and he uses SCT, so that is what i use. I have found that it is somewhat regional too. since SCT is here in Orlando, a lot of people go with them since they know someone that works there.

ok, just wondering, i bought a predator (had it shiped) anyway when i got it the box never had any tape or anything on it (to keep the box closed, or to show if it has been opened b4). The cardboard inside was wriped. It came with a manual and a ruler, is it supposed to come with stickers or anything else? Just curious if the box had been opened and if someone had used it b4 the place sent it to me.

I just wonder if they package them in plastic wrap or anything when diablo sends them out to there distributors.

Thanks for any info.
