Best programmer for my 3.8L?

starting a thread to see what people think is the best programmer for my 3.8L. i would like to get one that will work with the 3.8L and also for the 4.6L roush motor. i was looking at super chips and others but cant figure out which one would be best.

If it were me,i would wait til the 4.6 was in,you might need so dyno time to make sure it's all dialed in.....and i would go with SCT.

i know the superchips programmer will do both the 3.8 and the 4.6. i just wanted to get one where i can play with the 3.8 while i get around to swapping the drivetrain. does the SCT do both.

I believe it can,but it get's locked to the cars ecu,so you would have to get it unlocked to go with the 4.6L ecu once you do the swap to my understanding.
In my opinion,i would go with a programmer that most shops deal with(SCT,Diablosport),not one that doesn't have any support from your local shops.

Personally I would like the Trinity t-1000.

thanks for the input everyone. i might have to go with the sct. the t-1000 does not support the 2002 mustang.
