Best Flash Tuner

Which company make the best flash tuner for the lightnings. I have a superchips microtuner running the 12 lb boost setting and it runs great. But if I want to go to a 14 lb boost I would probably have to go with a different tuner. I would like to hear from other people using flash tuners.

With the SCT Excal 2 would I have to get a custom tune to start with, because as I understand it the programmer comes blank for $375 and then you have to buy a custom tune on top of that. Is this right?

Nobody should be selling "blank" tuners, what's the point of that? We sell the Xcal2 for $379 and that includes one custom tune. Additional tunes (if needed) are $30 each.

diablosport predator is the sh#t, can be bought for 319. it allows total ajustability and 14 custom tunes for 99-00 and about 8 for 01 up, can also use 9omm maf on 99=00 models with this tuner, can also ajust many engine, trans parameters also is a great scan tool with data logging, just fyi

I just used the xcal2 in my L and I love it. I have about 10 diff tunes in it, plus whats good about it is that it also reads and sends back data and stores it.

Dont want to thread jack, but how many tunes will the x-cal2 hold? And can you flip through tunes with a switch like the SCT 4 bank?
