its easy to install the tune they give in the tuner, just plug it in and its step by step, then once its done if you wanna ump the timing up or change your limiters or fans and what not just select modify tune and go from there

yes use premium gas , I have a TKO tranny i wouldnt know about the firmness, but when you set the firmness take it for a ride, see how you like it... change it again and make it firmer you might like it more lol i dunno bout auto's

with the diablo "canned tune" installed i was making 223RWHP, once i took it off and had the air/fuel and timing adjusted on the dyno, i made 250RWHP......the diablo tune was killing my performance...install it and try it, if it feels a little slower , it probably is! With the diablo tune installed even with my 4.10s i got beat in a race by my friend in a 99GT auto with just a CAI, 3.55's and catback, I GOT WALKED by like 5 cars[:@][:@]

Sounds like Hypertech's tune as well. BTW, I have a Hypertech Power Programmer for sale if anyone wants it....
