Default Best Power Programmer?

Hi all, new to the boards.

I'm sure this topic has been discussed at length before, but I tried a search and could not find what I'm looking for.

I have an '06 Z51, 3LT six-speed manual Vette with whatever factory performace exhaust option was available on it (not sure what it's called). I guess right about now it's got 406 HP.

I'm looking for a power programmer to boost the HP and torque as much as safely possible. My main concerns are getting the tuner that provides the most power gain, being able to return the programming to stock, and getting the power without destroying something.

I don't really need to adjust rev limiters or fan temperatures or anything like that. Just some extra HP and TQ would be nice. I've heard some of them can get 20-30HP extra at the rear wheels.

What are your recommendations?

The diablo sport predator may suit your needs. I am happy with the results I got from mine.

It does look like the Diablo Sport Predator (Part# U7194) seems to be my best choice so far. Anybody else have any other suggestions?
