I've been running my 2011 V6 Auto with Diablo Sport's tune in it for about two months. Let's just say the dyno number increase is greater than what I've read about another tune within a similar thread. After installing a 3:73 rear last week, my car has completed its transformation from a quick V6 to a Fast V6. It chirps into every gear, yes the limiter is off..

Camaro V6's were never really a threat when my car was stock. Now, with the tune and gear, they aren't even worth toying with. 2010 Mustang GTs, unless also tuned and geared, can't keep up with my V6 Pony.

Why don't you tell us the numbers so we wouldn't make a mistake and buying let's say the wrong tune? Help your fellow mustang forums buddy from making a mistake if your tune is really that dramatically different.

I asked BAMA what I can expect.............here's reply,
The gains you could expect to see are about 10-13HP for an 87 octane tune and upwards of 20HP for a 93 octane tune. We do not offer a fuel economy specific tune but with our Street and Performance tunes you can see a gain of a fuel miles per gallon when the vehicles is being operated at part throttle while still having the power available at full throttle.

The Diablo tune isn't greatly different from the other. Perhaps because my car was tuned personally by them, my numbers are higher than any canned tune. As far as not revealing my dyno numbers... I promised Diablo not to share them until the canned Diablo tunes are released. However, the guy who had his 2011 V6 manual tuned by them has posted a very nice video of him beating a 2010 GT at the track within the Tuner section of MF.
