Wow... maybe I wont buy through these guys after all. The Hypertech is like $400 even and the Superchips cost like $480 before the 10% off. Thats crazy. Whats that number again? LOL

Okay that's funny. Not really, but it's ridiculous that they want to charge that much.

What are all the options that this tuner gives you? Did you feel much of a gain???

I don't know if I can honestly say that I felt a gain cuz I got the gears on and didnt want to start racking up the miles so I isntalled the tuner to make the adjustment for the gears. But a combo with the gears and the tuner really did make a difference. To find out really what all of a difference it can make I suggest going to Diablosport.com, but I'm sure you've already been there. Sorry I can't be more help than that, but I hope to keep getting more answers to my questions.

Here is what all it does...

Dual timing adjustment points (2000-4000 RPM / 4000-7000 RPM)
Timing table (+10% / -40%)
Dual fuel adjustment points (2000-4000 RPM / 4000-7000 RPM)
Fuel table (+40% / -15%)
Idle (+/- 20%)
On/Off switch for Traction Control
Raise Speed Limiter
Rev Limiter
Re-Calibrate Speedometer for Gear and Tire Size Changes
WOT Shift Pressure
Part throttle shift firmness
RPM Shift Points
Torque Modulation (for better shift feel)
Cooling Fan ON/OFF Temperatures
Rear Oxygen sensor disable (use for off-road vehicles only)
Disable EGR (use for off-road vehicles only)
All of these parameters can be adjusted on the DiabloSport tune and/or the factory tune

I need to get one. LOL

I ran the Diablo tune along with the racalibration. But really other than that no. I just did it on Saturday. I'm looking to advance the timing, but some are saying that you can only go either 2 up or 2 down on the tune. I want to find more info about this first. I also have an email to someone from DiabloSport to help me out with this and another issue that I have with it. You have an option to turn the traction controll off upon startup, but after doing that I can't enable it again unless I run thru the tune again. I was wondering if this was a mistake or if it's something that just disables the traction control and that's it. If so, i don't like that. I want to be able to turn it on if I run into rain or I get stuck outside while it starts to snow. I hope I don't ever get stuck in the snow, but when I do every little bit of traction helps I would imagine.

I think MD said once its off then its off for good that it cant be turned back on. Im not to sure though. If I had the chance to turn mine off I definetly would. I turn it off everytime I get in anyways.
