I have the Cyberdyne box and it has worked pretty well for me. Occasionally I will notice that the accuracy will somehow shift by a few mph. I just have to reach down and adjust the little screw. I had never heard of the Dakota Digital boxes until after I did my swap. If I had known I probably would have gone with one of those. i've only heard good reports about them.

I have the Cyberdyne box and hate it. I have to adjust it constantly. I does not hold its calibration. I called Cyberdyne and they said they don't recommend it on GM vehicles because of all of the problems people have been having. I haven't put my Dakota Digital box in yet, but I have never heard anything bad about them. Go to their website at www.dakotadigital.com . I'm putting it in this weekend. I'll let you know the results. It's $90.

Yeah, don't get the cyberdyen. It sux! I never could get mine set right. It's just out of the range of my mph so it always reads 10-20 mph higher. Bumps in the road will also change it

3RDGEN FRANK - Please tell us how it goes! I need to get one soon.
