Where did you get your email tune for your diablo? I haven't been able to find anyone who does them, and I emailed diablo but they just gave me lists of who does dynotunes with them no custom email tunes.

good and cheaper do not go together in the same sentence when talking car. get a SCT, Diablo, or a Sniper.

Yea, a tuner isn't "required" for gears, s/cs, nos, engine builds, etc, there are loads of ways to get around them. Selena is running with an 11 psi s/c on a semi built motor untuned, yes I need to get it tuned, but it runs just fine without one.

For gears you can get a speedo recal box, or just around without proper speedo calibration.

For S/Cs, well most S/Cs come in kits that are designed to run on an otherwise stock setup with no tuning. Yes tuning will help make more power, but not needed.

For engine builds, again, no tuner needed, you can perform a build and use other gizmos to get around tuning and have the car still run just fine, again tuning will allow for better performance.

For N2O, again, kits come to run on otherwise stock cars, might not be a smart idea to run untuned but you can with devices like a window switch.

All in all a tuner is very worth it, but not completely needed, but if you want the easiest, long term cheapest way to do things, GET THE TUNER!!!

Some of them have a pretuned fuel economy tune, some don't. When I had my diablo 3 years ago it didn't have one. But all a fuel economy tune is, is a reduction in spark advance and fuel load settings.

Okay, yea, I suppose that tuners aren't the necessity I made them out to be, but you'd regret many mods if you didn't have one. I'm thinking I ought to buy one now though. Gears and no tuner was stupid, and the M112 I plan to get next would kill me.
