Hand held tuner devices question
The mod bug is too strong.
Thought of just a little at home tuning but I do have concerns.
Wondering which devise gets the most thumbs up. Leaning toward Diablo Predator.
Also, any issues with getting this car back to stock?
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks...

I have the predator, I like it . More than adequate for my needs, and the scanner function is very useful.

The Predator works well. The tune (for a Z06, all I have used it for) is safe and does provide a gain. The scanner is very useful. Their tech support helped me modify the tune provided for better results.
While a custom tune on a dyno is better, this really is pretty good. And you can go back to a stock tune without going to your tuner, helpful for a visit to the dealer.

Tons of controversy on this. I have one and am satisfied - was looking for improved driveablility, ability to go back to stock quickly for warranty purposes. It works well but as noted it is not as effective as a custom tune. I would still buy another given the level of mods (really just a cat back and CAI). If I was planning on headers and a intake, I would get a custom tune.
