Default Diablo Programmer

I have an 01 GT 5-spd. It is mostly bone stock, I have 3.73's on the way. I'll be putting a 75mm T/B and new plenum, with underdrive pulleys (I know some of you think U/D is a waste, but it's gonna happen). Anywho, i just plan on doing small bolt-ons. My real question is if a Diablo programmer would be worth the money, or would it be a waste??

Diablo sucks.

Without getting a tune, a tuner isn't exactly worth the money for the HP. Get a SCT.

With your minimal mods, Youll be fine with Diablo... You can max out the timing for a nice power boost and program the speedo for the gears.

if your getting gears, you can adjust for correct speedometer, and if you get a off road pipe you can turn off the o2's, turn off the traction control, and a lot more, is it worth it? it was for me $309.00 from streetsmart design....thats shipped!

I had a predator and sold it, I plan to buy an SCT just because the new xcal2s have the 2 step rev limit.

Other than this, I honestly liked the predator. I just advanced the timing all the way on mine set it one point leaner and it seemed to be alot more responsive, with maybe a little more pull.

with the gears you are gonna either need to get the speedo callibrator (which is 100 bucks and can only correct the speedometer) or a tuner. you can do alot more with the tuner.
