just did CAI and tune; couple questions...
Sooo, I have a 2007 mustang gt (manual). Today I installed the C&L Street intake and used the Diablosport Predator tuner. I installed the "95mm CAI tune" since there was no tune for C&L...
I looked online and it said that Diablosport doesn't make a tune for C&L anymore so I need to find some kind of custom tune.
- Where do I get a good custom tune?
- Can I change my settings so the TCS system default is off instead of on?
- Can I turn off the TPMS system so I don't get the error message anymore?
- Can I adjust my odometer/speedometer for different size wheels (I now have 255/35/20)?
- Is there any extra upkeep/ engine maintenance involved with having a CAI?
lastly. when I open the hood and the engine's running, I hear some faint clicking noise (kind of like a sewing machine). Is one of my air sensors off or something?
Thanks for everyones help! MF is like having a mechanic friend, so i appreciate it my mechanic friends! I will post photos of everything tomorrow.

well first off, is it the racer or the street kit? If its the street try the 85mm canned tune or revert to the 8r35 version of the predator to unlock the C&L tunes that were on there at one time. This can be found here: http://www.cnlperformance.com/U7140update.html. Let me know if you have any questions.

It is the street kit
Okay I just looked @ that guide. So now I need to buy a PC interface for the tuner? It looks like I need this one: http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/po...r-power-supply

- Where do I get a good custom tune? - I hear that Brokkspeed (sp?) writes good tunes for the Diablo
- Can I change my settings so the TCS system default is off instead of on? - I don't believe that's an option but there is a mod that'll default it to off. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=462075
- Can I turn off the TPMS system so I don't get the error message anymore? - No. we're stuck with this one.
- Can I adjust my odometer/speedometer for different size wheels (I now have 255/35/20)? - I know the SCT's allow tire RPM changes and I suspect the Diablo does, too
- Is there any extra upkeep/ engine maintenance involved with having a CAI? - Not other than cleaning and reoiling the filter every 15,000-25,000 miles (that'll start another debate).
lastly. when I open the hood and the engine's running, I hear some faint clicking noise (kind of like a sewing machine). Is one of my air sensors off or something? - you're probably hearing the injectors clicking. It's normal but there is a TSB on it if you think yours is excessive, but I doubt it is.

And yes, you need an interface for the PC otherwise there is no way to put the tunes onto your tuner (assuming you are having one sent to you?). Unless your tuner has Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Which would kick @ss.

30 bucks?? Its a serial cable, go to radio shack and grab a power adapter and the serial cable for cheap. Perhaps find a local computer store, they may have one laying around that t hey will just give you.
