RE: just got a diablo tuner
if you install the diablo tune into the car you will need to use premium gas... plus while your at it you should turn off the traction control and max out the spark advance at both ranges to increase hp.

traction control
premium gas
advance spark

it affects the advanced spark you should max it out and use 93 if you can, if you can only get 91 you may have to back it off a little. The higher octane helps to prevent detonation. If you get pinging (a knocking sound) you need to back it off. If you have 4.10's you can change that under the Axle screen.

On another note...if you are running full spark adv though, I recommend going to a cooler plug.

RE: just got a diablo tuner
i thought that you retarded timing for forced induction?
also, not to highjack, but i also just ordered a predator, and plan on advancing the timing. i know to use 93, are colder plugs a definite? how many heat ranges cooler should be considered?
