i really wouldnt get one until you have all the other engine work done that tou want. i havent even had my car dyno tuned yet and it runs great.
But you can always get a new tune over the internet. Doesnt most of the power come from adjusting the timing?

not always, some cars like more or less timing, but if his engine already has the timing where it likes it, the tuner probably wont do anythingImy opinion i think people put too much
empahsis on a tune, the thing is they only work if your car needs it.

Well a big reason I want a tune is for calibrating when i get gears and wheels, adjust timing, wont have to buy MIL eliminators, and tune for higher octane.

this is the best bang for the buck

http://www.concoursdirect.com/dispprprtu.html

they are way worth it i raced my buddys 02 that has headers o/r pipe and my cars has the same mods Expt gears. but he had a tune in his car and i didnot we raced and i had him by only 1/2 a car then he put the tune in my car and put his back to stock and then we raced and i won by 3 cars so they do make a big differance
Does that come with a tune or do you just do it yourself? And should I get the PC interface, or is it something I can get later?
it has 3diff. tunes to pick from, that are built in the PC interface isnt something that you need the tunes that are in the programmer are very very good, you can even turn off you o2 sensers, and change gear ratio, tire size, trac conrtoll on/off, diff. gas tunes 87,89,92+, cooling fan temp on/off, they are the best tuners for the money

the only downside i see to the diablo is most people around here are sct dealers and tune using the sct... otherwise that is one hell of a deal on that diablo. thanks for the site, i still might buy one because for a new price thats crazy good.
