About LinkBacksHi all,
I did do a search but other then some questions and some old info, I was wondering the verdict on the diablo tuner for the SRT.
I just ordered my challenger SRT (bummer on the color choices) with the 6 speed and want to MAYBE change the cam shortly after I get it.
How is the tuner? Is is like the superchips one with only preset set-ups or can you really get custom tuning. and is everyone generally happy with it?
Feel free to PM or email me as I know GS motorsports is a great staple of this site and I'm not looking to put anyone on the spot...just looking for some honest feedback.
Also my 05 magnum RT AWD is up for sale in the NY CT area if anyone knows anyone
thanks,
-R

No comparison to the SC. You can really, really , really get into tuning with these babies--take into to a CMR dyno shop and you'll really wake up your beast. I don't think you'll find unhappy customers here.
Do some searches for Diablo and you'll find plenty of articles with peoples experience with the Diablo.

Oops, almost forgot SC doesn't support the SRT8's. Guess you'll be forced to buy the Diablo...

I'm baffled by anyone with an LX that HASN'T bought one of these. As for bang-for-the-buck, I don't think it gets any better.

It all depends on what you want a tuner to do for you. If you've modded the hell out of the motor and it won't run on anything other than a diablo CMR tune, then yes, it's the only option.

That other option, if you fit it's category, is the 'best bang for the buck'.
Remember, getting the tuner is only the first expense, you will (probably) pay more than the cost of the tuner for a custom tune. And if -that- isn't right, you will be buying lots and lots of dyno time trying figure out just what the hell isn't right -this- time.

If I get a Diablo, can I ditch the B&G and go back to the stock PCM?
