I know everyone will recomend the Xcal2, but I think that is a little much for me. I am looking at the SuperChips 1715 and the Diablosport Predator. Can anyone compare the 2? The one thing I see, is the Diablo has 87/89 octane performance tune, and the 1715 does not only a 91/93. Which would give the greatest gain if any?? By the way, I have 03 SuperCrew with 4.6L Thanks for the help..

 

Please don't be penny wise, and buy something you will regret later on.
Why not save up a little and go with the X-Calibrator2 with Mikes custom tuning?? I really think you will be glad you did...it has options that the others do not..

 

What options does it have against the diablo ?

 

The current 1715 has an 87 tune, 91+ tow and 91+ max performance. I have one and it works great. I will sell it to you so I can buy a XCAL2!

 

datalogs for one

 

Dead wrong - the Superchips 1715 had 87 octane tuning long before Diablo - sounds like someone doesn't understand how the 1715 works - ALL of Superchips tuners have the 87 octane option for vehicles that could run on 87 octane from the factory.

The Predator does not have many of the XCal2's features, despite their many claims - it does not have true high-speed datalogging, just for one very important distinction and what they do have is limited to very slow datalogging of a very limited number of simultaneous parameters. It also does not have the modular design that allows it to take so many other options, such as the upcoming dash-mounted touch screen, and numerous other add-on options, the multiple tunes that they promised bu never delivered for years it was limited to only holing 1 program, the easy updatability of the XCal 2 (and the fact that there have actually been updates) and connectivity in certain aspects, and numerous other things.

We know more about how Diablo was formed and how they operate than anyone (well, other than themselves and their attorneys, perhaps), as we used to carry their line - and I wouldn't give you 2 cents for their ethics, and certainly not for their tuning.

You can use the SEARCH feature here to see how a number of people they tuned came to us to fix the tuning, because they couldn't do things as simple as removing a top speed limiter in numerous F-150's that have as many as 9 or more lays of limiters, or correcting a speedo calibration, shifting problems, etc. Phil Kanarkowski is an excellent example, and there are others here over the years as well - thought it's been awhile since the last one, as most owners comes to us these days to start off with..

The Predator is not a "bad" piece of hardware, it's just not in the same class as the XCalibrator 2. More importantly, it's the *tuning* that counts.

To each their own, if you're happy with what you have, then stick with it.

However, anyone that actually cares about getting the *best* results and the best tuning comes to us for our Troyer Performance custom tuning - that works far better than any off-the-shelf tuner, whether it's Superchips, Diablo's, Hypertech's, or anyone else's. that is why the majority of F-150 owners come to us for their performance needs, especially tuning, as we have specialized in F-150 tuning longer than anyone else.

Good luck in whatever you device!
