Diablo, SuperChips or Bully Dog?
I'm in the market for a performance programmer. I know none of them will turn my JK into a sports car, but just considering performance, between diablo, SuperChips and bully dog, which one will give me the most power and throttle response improvement?

Superchips is good but you will notice it when add a CAI and cat back and help when re gearing in setting the speedo meter
Diablo is great when adding RIPP long tube headers and SC as RIPP will send you a custom tune to match your needs.
I'm running Diablo predator and enjoying the custom tune and my JK never drove better off course after adding the headers.

Its a never ending debate on this forum about chips and gearing. Do both I guess would be the clean and easy way. I heart my 4.56s and my Procal. I just don't see a purpose for a chip tuner in a jeep. If I had a super charger on my engine... Fuck yeah I'd have a tuner. Then it all makes sense. :-) I could ramble this more, but I'm done. Promise.

I am running the Bully Dog. Works OK but the display is actually the best part since it helps monitoring several features at the same time while you drive.
If you can wait a little bit more and have a few more to spend, Superchips says (once more) they are releasing the new Vivid in December. Seems to be a cool product. There's a thread about it.

I just got the bully dog, mainly because of the real time monitoring. Truthfully, if it wasn't for that I would have just gone with the procal because the price tag for the bully dog does not justify the little big of power gain I got from it.
