Shifter 1st IMHO. An alternate would be to install the shifter bracket with the OEM shifter.

Only use than to upload custom tunes. The preloaded tunes aren't worth anything.

But even then, the datalog capabilities for that handheld are not nearing as wide variety wise as SCT, so I would recommend getting a custom tune locally by a Diablosport capable tuner, or contact JPC Racing who are the best tuners on the Diablosport right now.

The problem with Diablosport is there isn't much support out there for it. Most tuners use SCT which would severely limit your options for a tuner locally.

I think Sean said he can tune for the Diablosport when I had that one last year, but he said for Ford he would rather prefer SCT.

I would do the tune first, IMO best bang for your buck. Sounds like you will have future mods down the road so you may want to consider someone like American Muscle with tunes for life until your done modding and then get a more dialed in tune. If you buy the SCT from AM you basically get the tune or tunes for life for free.

That's what I did. Did mid pipe and tune first. It's crazy how much better the car feels. Shifter will be next for me.
