Question Hypertech or DiabloSport?

I have a 1998 Mustang GT. It's all stock right now but I plan on adding things to the engine. I was wondering which would be better to buy, the Hypertech Power Programmer or the DiabloSport? Which would give me the most HP and Torque. From what I know the Diablo will give me up to 24HP and 38 lbs of Torque and the Hypertech will give me up to 30HP and 39lbs of torque. But seems like I read more articles of guys putting in the Diablosport rather than the Hypertech. Any suggestions??

I bought a 2 stage diablo sportchip for my stock car and it didnt do a damn thing. From what everyone says- Do your mods first than go with a chip! I dont have any experience with the power progaamers so Ill let someone else help you with that.

Thanks! You just saved me from buying one then....still wonder about the hypertech.....but in the mean time I'll just stick with doing some other things to it first.

I've ranted and raved befor about the hypertech and how good it is. The power gains aren't amazing, but they're practical. It will also save you alot of money if you change tire sizes or gear ratios. I personally think it's a worthwhile investment.
