Default Any Preference Diablo Sport Predator or SCT X3?

SO I made the grave mistake of including the tuner in the sale when i sold my 96GT and now need one for my 02GT. I had the SCT X3 and i liked it but thinking about going a Diablo Predator. Any feedback would be great. I am guessing its just a matter of preference but again, all feedback and advice welcome! Thanks

Unless you are getting their $800-900 LCD Display setup, I'd say go with the SCT X3.

I have had both. Honestly I liked the Predator better than the SCT from a user standpoint but SCT is far more popular with the mustang crowd and more places use the SCT software for tuning. Both are nice IMO. SCT seems to be easier to find places that will write tunes, dyno tune etc. I have the SCT now.

Sct is definitely the preferred one to use for mustangs but Diablo is good too. I agree with Jon though unless you get the expensive one with lcd just go with Sct.

Well lets see.... Ive had em all. Started with a predator in my 07 very user friendly, then bought a diablo Trinity which is basically the most awesome toy ever. I still use it in my gt500 just for the gauges. I have an x3 mated to the gt500 and use an sct livewire on my brothers truck. If you can afford the 600 for the trinity go for it. The predator is more user friendly than the x3 but if you ever want a dyno tune more shops use sct than diablo. Oh and dont bother with the livewire, its big ugly and not worth the extra money

I have an SCT X3 for my 01. It's not too bad.
