Default adjusting settings with tuner

I just got my X3 tuner today and was fiddling around with it. I adjusted a few things and took it for a test drive. All I can say is 10% firmer shifts makes a big difference(made my credit card fly out of the cubby hole in the lower DIN). I stayed conservative when I was adjusting so I didnt change too much. I didnt touch the spark or timing settings since I dont know what would be safe.

Im just using the canned tune right now. Is it safe to use 92 octane(highest in town) for the premium tune or should I put the car onto the 91 tune?

If anyone could list off some things to change to make the performance that much better it would be appreciated.

Wow, you guys really like my tuner settings for the diablo didn't you lmao. Can't wait to get an SCT for the Cobra, but I have slightly more important priorities for the time being.

i am interested in what you have changed, spark and stuff? i have a tune from vmp but was wondering if changing the spark throughout the rpms would help or not. havent had a chance to really mess with it like that

Yeah it helped me with mine J lol. And yeah adjusting the timing can squeeze a little more out of the car.

The only things I really adjusted was shift firmness, and turning the rear o2's off.

Hey J, I too would like to know what to modify on my Diablo. I did retard my spark as it was a 93 oct tune and I only have 91 available. I have a manual so I'm not sure if there's much more I can do.

Since it's been a long while since I used a diablo, PM me all the parameters, were they're set at now, and the ranges availible to modify. Also, I need to know what octane tune you want to run.
