So far I have had very good luck/results with the DSP. I first installed the 87 Octane tune right after I had installed a Borla Cat-back Exhaust. Ran a lot better and by the seat of the pants seemed to have more power that was a lot smoother through the Torque curve. I recently installed the Steeda CAI, removed the emissions Catalyst in the intake right after the MAF with the appropriate tune from DSP for tha CAI. Noticed a bit more power, filled up with 93 Octane (can use 91 as well) and after running it a bit, went out on my favorite stretch of Interstate, exited and got back on. Started from a dead stop and did a WOT onto the Interstate again (about 1/3+ mile to merge), was hitting 115+, merged into traffic (had to slow down fast to 80), punched it to go around a 350Z, hit 115-120+ again rather quickly and was gone! I had previously done the same run right after the Borla's were installed and only got up to 106-7, and 109-110 with the DSP 87 Oct tune. So now with the CAI, re-tune and 93 Oct, I am pretty satisfied in my investment. I will soon be adding the Steeda Charge Motion Control Valve Plates and the tune for them with the CAI. We shall see.....
My dealer's Service Advisor (Josh is a real Mustang guy) recommended the DSP over the SCT Xc (Not knocking the SCT), but I have had very good results with the DSP. So, take my results and compare them to others out there. One thing to consider, SCT is about to come out with the SCT II that is similar to the DSP, but DSP is upping the anti with some revised tunes due out in a week or so according to DSP. There's a thread from Nick at DSP on this here somewhere. So for my money (and I have spent a few thousand so far! lol) I am pleased with all my mods, especially the DSP Tunes!

We have been testing with a Diablosport Predator for the last week on my friends 03 GT Vert. with great results.
I'll be picking up my 05 GT tonight and will install my C&L intake and Diablosport tune as soon as I get 1000KM and a good baseline at the strip, hopefully by Sunday.
I have not heard anything about this but as with any "chip" or reflash done by someone else you cannot make adjustments as modifications or even fuel availability change.
A good example for me is leaving Montreal for NYC aprox. 360 Miles away.
I'm tuned for 94 octane but in the mountains off the highway at 2:00AM all I can find is 91 octane.
Solution: Retard timing by aprox. 13 Degrees and continue instead of worrying for the next 2 hours about detonation(pinging or knock) as I hammer through the mountains.
What kinda of performance increase (including numbers) would I notice when using the Diablo Sport with my stock GT? I would use the 91 octance tune for max performance since a greater rating isnt available around here. I would appreciate firmer shifts out of this automatic too.
