It seems that more and more tuners are using SCT (super chip tuning) products. This is a completely different company that superchips.
SCT is constantly updating their products.
With that being said,
If you go with the Diablo Predator, make sure you DO NOT use the stock tune, Get a custom tune. There are many posts regarding the safety of the stock Diablo tune.

DiabloSport Lightning/HD Truck Predator
The Predator '99-04 Lightning / '02-04 Harley (part no. U7158) is applicable for the following vehicles:
1999-2004 5.4L 2V Supercharged SVT Lightning F150
2002-2004 Harley Davidson F150 trucks
What is the Predator?
The Predator for '99-04 Lightning / '02-04 Harley (part no. U7158) is a state-of-the art, high performance tuning flash programmer in a sleek handheld design. Once connected to the vehicle, the Predators internal computer recognizes the vehicles PCM and automatically picks the proper tuning files designed specifically for that PCM. Inside the Predator's memory are the actual tuning files that optimize spark timing and air/fuel ratio curves. The transmission parameters are remapped to improve the shift characteristics such as shift firmness and shift points. Unlike other 'tuners', DiabloSport's programming is performed in very small increments throughout the entire RPM range, for a smoother, wider and a more predictable power delivery. DiabloSport engineers spend many hours on the dyno, street and track to ensure the tunes provided with the Predator are the best they can be.
Why to get DiabloSport Predator?
The only flash tuner with exclusive FlashForwardTM ability allowing you to download custom tunes via Internet from a nationwide network of ChipMaster Revolution tuners (locate your nearest dealer in our Dealer Locator).
The only flash tuner allowing you to get revision updates via Internet.
The only flash tuner with exclusive FlexAdjustTM technology which allows you to vary the engine and transmission parameters over a wide range.
The only flash tuner with advanced OBD-II scanner capability:
-read fault codes (DTCs) and their description in plain English (no need for extra books!)
-both standard and proprietary fault code text included
-reset fault codes
-live data monitoring
The only flash tuner that logs* live data. Play back log on Predator or PC (Log Viewer for Windows is available FREE on our Downloads Page).
The flash tuner with a true graphical display that's 300% larger then the competition's puny text only display
The flash tuner running on a custom high performance, multi-threading KROS operating system
Dyno Tested Performance Tunes
The Predator was created with one thing in mind, POWER!
Average power gains are in 20-30 RWHP range. The Predators additional power makes itself noticeable immediately with an increase in power that starts in the low RPMs and builds into a frenzy at the high RPMs. (If used in combination with our PowerPulley, power gains of about 40-50 RWHP can be achieved).
A Predator equipped vehicle will notice significant improvements in drivability. The additional power and improved shift patterns created by the Predator tune will yield quicker acceleration, firmer shifts, better mileage and improved towing characteristics, whether it is in town or out on the highway towing an 8,000 lbs trailer.
The power increase in the lower RPMs will yield a better throttle response; help maintain speeds on inclines and towing. The wider power band that the Predator creates will be particularly noticeable in city driving, where speeds constantly change. The mid-to-upper power increase is extremely useful on the highway when passing slower vehicles and to quickly maneuver out of emergency situations.
The increase in MPG is a byproduct of maximized engine efficiency, the improved timing curve and air/fuel ratio creates a more complete combustion, i.e. the engine extracts more power from each molecule of gasoline.
DiabloSport has generated dyno tested tunes, including a pair of tunes for the 90mm MAF addition for 1999-2000 trucks.
Predator tunes re-map the:
-Fuel Curves
-Timing Curves
-Extend Speed Limiters
-Extend Rev Limiters
DiabloSport Performance tunes require the use of Super Unleaded / Premium grade fuel only, like carried by Amoco/BP, Sunoco or Mobil. DiabloSport also recommends to install the transmission replacement PowerValve for improved shifting when using high performance tunes.
The superchip Microtuner (#1) is kinda old.
The SCT micro tuner is fairly newer.
OR you can simply buy a chip, plug it in and forget about it. All of the above three allow you to custom tune and adjust SOME things. Hence, that is why they cost so much more than a regular chip.
