Alot of local shops are selling SCT chips, saying they will give about an 18 rwhp gain. I can pick up a diablosport used for cheaper, but will it give me the same horsepower gains? And also, i have a offroad midpipe setup, with these chips can i turn off the rear 02 sensors?

you can't program the chip a shop would have to tune your car on the dyno and burn a tune for you it's not something you just plug in your driveway.

x2. And it may take around 3-4 pulls on the dyno to figure out what the perfect tune is for your vehicle. Why do you want to
turn off your rear o2s? because you don't have cats?

Yea, the exhaust shop told me i needed to get o2 eliminators or get a chip to override the o2 sensors. I dont have a check engine light but they said i still need to get it done. With the chips, can you make your own tune? A friend of mine told me he bought a diablosport and made his own tune for it.

The tuning software runs about 500 dollars from what I understand. I know the SCT tuner comes with preloaded tunes for stock cars with some adjustable options, and I'd imagine Diablosport does the same.
