Diablosport tune - Whooooo!
I just installed my Diablosport tune on my car, and the shifts are definately faster, with none of the "lag" I used to feel. As an added bonus, I turned off the rear 02 sensors, so no more check engine light!
I have just one question for those of you with tuners though... the gas stations in my area only sell up to 92 octane fuel. Do I need to adjust my timing or what? The instructions say that for 91 octane you need to set the retard 10%... so do I set it 5% for 92 octane or just leave it?

Also. Lean out the car 2% too. Stupid Diablo sport runs their tuns too rich. We hooked a digital pro a/f gauge up to my car and the stock setting were too rich. My car ran just fine without the tune as far as a/f goes but when we put it on it was too rich. Just listen for knocking and pinging. If you get that and lugging then retard the timing by 1% untill you stop having that problem.

You can run higher octane in your tank than your tune is set for, just not lower.
BTW, I would not mess with the fuel tables much. It is unlikely you will get much out of it, but without a wideband O2 sensor you risk leaning the car out too much. It probably won't hurt anything being n/a with a basically stock setup, but it will still run hotter etc.
