YES! With just thier preprogrammed program, I gained 8 RWHP at 3200rpm, and 8-10 RWTorque. Plus, the guy at the dyno told me I can get from 10 -20 more RWHP by modifying the program, remapping the Fuel Injection. Hell, it was worth it to me just to be able to get rid of the damn speed limiter. And I just ordered my 4.10's and T-Lok. I can recalibrate the speedo with it too. Also, I am going to change the tranny shift points, and shift firmness. Like a shift kit without the mess!

03YellowPony, you got yours at showrides.com, right? Do they send it with only the preprogrammed setting that your talking about, or do they also send you the program to get the 10-20 hp.

Everything yellow just said. Pick one up on ebay for around $250, that's how I got mine and it works wonders.

Got mine at RPMoutlet. They all come with a Diablo pre program. It's a mild tune. You can modify it, or just do your own. Fortunatly, my bud has a shop that uses Diablo's all the time. he's gonna remap my F/I.

Be careful with the e-bay ones. I was going to buy one there, but I asked if it would do the V6 too. He told me it was V8 specific. I think he had a Cobra. The ones for the Cobra's won't work on the V6's

I was looking at showridez.com and they say it comes with 3 tunes, you think I can get them to put a meaner tune on it or not?

Only one way to find out. Call or E-mail them. Mine only came with 1 pre tune. But I can either change parameters with it, or hook it to my PC and use a program from Diablo to do whatever I want. But like I said, my bud uses Diablo all the time. He owns a racing shop. I'm deferring to a superior mind LOL

You can install the diablo tune that's already on there and you can tinker with your idle drive settings for a better take off time but anything else I would let a professional do it and make sure you get the professional show you how to do mods with the tuner as well.
