i have a diablo sport preditor power progammer and its awesome!
you name it it does it! it will even turn the rear o2 sensors off so you can delete your cats and never worry about c.e.l. again. you can also make your own custom tunes!

I just got the superchips cortex after reading many reviews, couldn't be happier. But most programmers just change the shift points and tweak the engine just a bit so don't expect that much more power, just prolonged shift periods and faster down shifts.

That would be why they are kinda useless on a standard.

The best bang for the buck is gears. In my F150 I went from 308's to 355. Quite a difference.
