the sct is not a trap. he evidently dosent know much about the sct. there are 2 things to stay away from on a 6.0
1) shift on the fly--- this does nothing for the trans. the trans needs to be flash tuned for the program you are running. to accomplish this you will have to shut the truck down. the torqueshift does have a learning curve but it is based on stock power levels.
2) canned tunes-- the sct offers custom tuining based on the trucks strategy. this is basically the file number your truck is tuned with. with strategy soecific tuning you will best be able to optimise you total power out put and get the most out of the truck. super chips is a great tuning and was one of the leaders in 7.3 tuning at one time. they are no longer the best in that segment though. pretty much all tuners out there with few exceptions (sniper, gryphoon, sct, phalanx) have what most call canned tunes which means they are a one size fits all tuning approach. this makes some trucks run freakishly well while others are good and some are not so good. one way they have helped to make this better is to offer tuners in specific year ranges.

the diablo sport is a great code reader. but for the powerstroke it has a bad rep and it is deserved. they do make great tuners for the gasser crowd.
if it were me i would get a sct. with the right race file you should see a mid 14sec or lower 1/4 run.
