Default real life #'s from diablo tuner?

just wondering if anyone here has used the diablo tuner before and after a dyno to see what the real numbers that it produces in hp and torque with basic bolt on mods?

the latest i heard with some mods and the rest stock was around 10-15 rwhp with 93 octane (cant find 93 in las vegas) so with ur sig, id expect probably around 15 with a 93 octane tune... probably around 8 or 10 with 91. It really depends on your mods. Superchips is alright for a stock car, but if you want more options go with SCT XCAL2. Make sure to flash ur computer back to stock before switching tuners

Your sig has pullies. Did the 240 include that?

The only reason I asked is that you hear all the time about different rwhp numbers from pullies and I was curious what yours did.
I ordered a set of Steedas and haven't put them on yet but I also have the BBK TB/Plenum combo and am curious how your numbers come back.

so the numbers are in....
origionaly flowmasters, bbk CAI, it only got me about 240hp....
now with flows, cai, 75mm tb, upper intake plenum, 1 inch itake spacer, steeda u/d pulleys, and tuned 255 hp..
its not a huge jump but i was running way lean with all of the adustments andi have the right fuel curve and the spedo is right, and i can see better gas milage from the 100 mile trip back home from denverand it runs smoothe as a babys bottom!!and i am a mile above sea level in denver soi don'tget as much air and its harder to squeeze out horse power, (well get this...my 1/4 mile times with flow and intake where low 15's and 1 14.91, stock GT's run in the high 13's if i recall...but that was tested at sea level....so i guess its all relative where you are and to take into account that all of the parts you buy may say add 10hp or 3-7 hp.... never add them up you will be very disapointed in the end result.
as i know your going to hear this alot... F/I is the only way to go!

p.s. don't mind my ramblling...i have had a long day..lol

I certainly agree to that, buy the time you add up all your bolt-ons and realize you gain 30rwhp, compared to about 150rwhp for a S/C it starts to make you wonder why you didnt save up and get the S/C first. Atleast i did...
