Default Diablo Predator or SCT Livewire

I have a 2008 Mustang GT with a few bolt on modifications, I have a Diablo Predator tuner now. Would I come out better to buy the SCT Livewire or keep what I have. I have read that the SCT Livewire is the best but is it worth spending the extra money? Can they send a custom tune for the add ons that I have and be correct with it? below is a list of the modifications.

Pypes Headers
Pypes O/R H pipe
JBA Mufflers
C&L Racer Intake
BBK Twin 62MM Throttle Body
Throttle Body Spacer
Diablo Predator Tuner

Thanks for the help!

id find out what your nearest tuner uses and use the same tuning equipment they do. that way if they do a tune..saying using Diablou can fine tune it if and when u do more upgrades.

IMO i prefer SCT because you have additional variables you can change and get everything out of your car. Although diablo is simplier. But if you are having a local shop do it then you will have to use what they use. If they use both I would go with the SCT SF3, no point to spend the extra money on the Livewire unless you want the display, and you could point that money towards a tune.

You will not gain more power from switching tuners. The power comes from te tune not the device that installs it.
