I have a 2013 1500 5.7 hemi

Just installed the s&b and i think my next mod will be a tuner

But i wanted to know which one is better and why?
And who will you recomend for purchase?
Is it real easy to install and would it affect engine in any way and ones being installed do you recommend in just leaving it like that or just have installed when ever your going to race or just have fun with it?

Its a toss up between the two programmers. There will be fans of both. I will personally recommend Moes though. I will vouche for their awesome service and quick shipping. Im sure many others will too.

I'm not sure but I don't think Diablo sport has released tuning for the 13's yet. But bullydog has stronger canned tunes. Unless you plan on headers, throttle body and super charger and want the capability for custom tunes, then bullydog will be just fine

You can leave it installed without any problems

You can just program the truck and remove the programmer.

from pretty much every forum I have read the bully dog has better canned tunes (the tunes that are pre loaded on the tuner) but if you want a custom tune diablo is the only way to go...so it all depends what your looking for

In order to say which company has a better canned tune, one would have to have both programmers, and a dyno. Otherwise its just people being biased to whichever product they own.

Me personally, I'd go with the diablo. I have had diablo on all of my vehicles, except for a titan i used to own, and I had a bullydog on it, and it didnt really seem to help the truck out very much.

And the ability to custom tune with the diablo.
