Default The better Tuner?

Which tuner would be best for a v6 2002 mustang 5sp manual, with3.73 gears. I am looking at these tuners at american muscle.com if there is any place with better prices plz tell.

They're all pretty much the same, but the Diablo allows for more in depth tuning, so the Diablo gets my vote.

I voted the Livewire because well... it is the best tuner right now, but for the money, both the Diablo and SCT are good, but I just ordered the XCal2 because I'll never use that the Livewire's got to offer and the SCT just seemed more popular.

Sure. I'm no Justin, but I did figure out a way to make maximum power with the Diablo, and the dyno supported that too, only took about 20 hours of testing tuning, and retuning to perfect it, man I wish my 5.0 was Diablo compatable, the Tweecer RT is nice but the learning curve just to use it sucks.

I vote sct xcal 2, custom tuned from justin at vmptuning.com. I don't know which is better for tuning yourself, but I know Justin has a great reputation for his tunes, and an excellent reputation for customer service. I can attest to both of these personally, and have seen my fair share of happy customers on this site as well as two other v6 mustang sites I tend to frequent.

best of luck with the purchase.

Will the Diablo work with 87 Octane. Is there any place I can learn more about these tuners so I can find out more about what I'm gonna get. I've only read about them at americanmuscle.com
