Good choice. It does take some getting used to at first. In stop and go traffic, especially w/4.10s you might want to start in 2nd gear.

Is it that great of a throttle response? Should I get a neck Brace? lol
Hmm, maybe the race tune is not good for everyday driving. I dont get why they cant just make a good all around tune. Maybe I will just sell my diablo and get an SCT from Brenspeed

Get the race tune. Yes, it is a little touch but not that bad. It seems to kick in at about 3000 RPMS. You will like the tune.

The race tune is a little touchy, but just fine for DD. You might even be able to have Doug dial down the throttle sensitivity a hair if you like. I was nearly going to do this on the manual, but then bought a S/C anyway...

Serial cable if the Predator and PC have serial ports.
Serial-to-USB adapter if the Predator has a serial port, and the PC has a USB port.

OK, the Diablo is a serial port so I need to get a serial to usb adaptor,. Also, it looks like I will need a power adaptor so I can plug it in to the wall for power. Any idea which AC adaptor is needed?
Also, is there a program I need to install on my computer or is that already in the diablo and will download once plugged into my computer?
