Best Tuner

I've decided that I am going to buy a tuner soon as my first upgrade. Out of the 3 popular one's, Hypertech-Superchips-Predator.... Which would be the best buy for a stock setup??

Hypertech and Superchips are not a popular solution for a Lightning these days(I don't think Hypertech ever was). It is Predator vs SCT..

I like my SCT Xcalibrator 2.

Save the money, get some bolt-ons first: Intake, pulley, exhaust, etc. then get a dyno tune. Most L tuners (the good ones) use the Xcal2 (sct) or the Predator (diablo sport).

Don't get either of those. SCT or Diablo for L's.

Good Luck

I don't think it's which device you use that's the most improtant, it's who is doing the tuning.

I just got the XCAL2 from Troyer Performance. Haven't had a chance to plug it in yet though so I can't tell you what I think.

I'm pretty sure that they are separate companies though? I'm sure someone knows the deal. And learn how to quote correctly chump....
