That's all well and good but who's tunes are you loading into it? If it's the canned Diablo tunes, then toss THAT away, too. I don't know who writes decent tunes for the Diablo these days. Bama used to but since they were eaten by AM, they only support the SCT. Sorry, bud, but again you didn't research this. The canned Diablo tunes are about 10 RWHP shy of a good custom tune.

Hate to see these threads where its a "Bought this, is it any good" situation instead of a "Interesting in buying X . . . will it be any good?"

OP, you're putting the cart in front of the horse here. These are the threads you need to make BEFORE you buy stuff, not after.

Canned tunes are notorious for leaning out too. I loaded a canned SCT canned tune on my 06 GT when it was bone stock, did one dyno pull just to see what it did, and my a/f was somewhere in the high 14's.... Rut Roh!

Needless to say, I put the custom email tune on the car before the next two pulls.

IME, Amazon is great with returns. Give it a try even if the original packaging is destroyed.

Live and learn. Amazon is great for some things, but not this.
