Raider-- well i talked to andy and he was looking to get 375 or so for the same thing. i was just researching and looking around and found it for 335 shipped. i would really have liked to get it from him, but there is no difference in product so i had to save myself the 40+shipping. i have his site bookmarked and i will be getting my other performance products from him in the future.
i dont know much about the cummins, but 500hp and 1000lbft is a ton. whats the cost on a sidewinder kit. 100hp and i think its 220lbft for $335 is cheap.
from what i know, ford releases all their info on their electronic, so the programmers are faster at putting out new programs for them. i think dodge and chevy dont, so they have to break the codes. correct me if im wrong.
camzaro28- ill take you on with the 100hp setting. its insane

No offense here, but I am guessing you may have bought it from someone who has an online store and does not buy directly from diablosport. As a dealer/distributor for diablosport, I am contractually bound to sell that product for no less than the $375 (actually $389.xx). Someone who is sitting around in their underwear at home selling parts from his buddies store is more often than not who those parts come from. I understand saving money- I have to do it all the time. There are alot of real nice websites online made and backed by stupid people. A nice looking website can showcase product and doll everything up, but it doesn't mean the seller is proficient with it and even knows much about it. What people forget about (and I run into this ALOT) is you buy product online and POOF- they are gone months later when you have problems or need them to be there. When this happens, you call the guy that is the 'local' dealer and he has to warranty the product, answer questions, etc. When your CE light comes on under heavy load (pulling a trailer) and you have 4 codes in historical, are they going to know why??? Do they tell you to NOT run the programmer on 100 HP setting all the time (you will be purchasing engine parts- '99 and'00 have forged internals so it may be a little longer). I know tintmasters and SLS run into these problems ALL THE TIME also, so sometimes it better to support the local guys. No, I am not saying you need to pay more for the product just because they're local- but a fair price should be that, a fair price. Like I say, I'm not upset that you purchased from someone else, I'm just stating the side of the story that you may not know/ understand etc. Have fun with the programmer- it's a good piece, and hope to do future business w/ you.
