I jsut got my tuner today and im reading the directions which is only 1 page which kinda scared me. I was expecting a book but oh well. It come pre tuned to my mods. Well it says to take out my fuel pump and electric fan fuses and i was jsut wondering y i need to do that. Also when i get my gears and tlok am i going to have to take it to a dealer and get it tuned again or is that something i can do my self. The instructions are not very detailed.

That's a few reasons I recommend the Diablo. They give you like a 30 page booklet that explains it ALL, and you don't have to do anything but plug it in and program. No need to remove fuses or anything.

well i looked at it and they custom tuned it to 93 octane for me. Well i looked at the other things i could change and i have no clue where to set shift points and stuff like that. Every thing i looked at was set like stock. The spark was at 0, the speed limit was at 110, the shift point was at 5600. What do i need to set every thing to. i dont have a book to see waht i would need to set them to. Can you left me know how you have yours set or what i should set every thing as. My mods are in my sig.

First thing you should do is CALL SCT. Ask thm why you didn't get a book with your tuner.

That guy is also a sponsor here. If he's the same guy. I remember seeing his add saying that. Call SCT. Get the book. Ask Ryan how you can tell if it has the latest software. SCT and Diablo both have great customer support.
