We have been doing alot of programming using the Diablo on several different applications, especially the HEMI cars. We will have a Diablo Direct Tuning Representative coming to Fastlane to certifiy us as Authorized Diablo Tuning Facility the weekend of DEC. 13. We are extending the invite to the first 3 people that schedule an appointment to have their car tuned that weekend. Please call Anthony or Jason to get the details, pricing and schedule

so if we already have the diablo tuner and a performance tune in the car? what else (exactly) are you going to do for $250 that will give us a gain? no offense am just curious if it will be worth it. Thanks!

do you have a custom dyno tune in the car?
there is a biiiiig difference from the canned performance tunes that come with the diablo handheld and custom tuning via CMR and a dyno.

no just the in box predator tune and some parameters.. Anybody who has this done, can you let me know your opinions on the CMR tune? thanks for the reply "dudeiwin86"

what kind of extra HP gains would you estimate we could see form a custom tune vs. a canned tune with only exhaust upgrades to the car?

custom cam
we got a set of head cores and had them milled .030 along with a 3 angle valve job, then swapped them onto my ride at the same time as the cam, they kept my heads as the new core.
25% underdrive pulley by powerbond (same as the SLP that everyone sells)
custom tuning.

i went from
320/355 up to 375/375... this was before the pulley. the tune is not 100% complete, but ive been too busy to get back in there and fine tune it. im confident that we can get a few more hp out of the motor, and will see more from the pulley as well.

i am trying to work out this weekend so i can be one of the cars who gets the chance to be tuned.

ive talked with nick, and if i can get a ride, i will be able to leave my car so they can work on it.

they are having a guy from diablo come and do some training, so if you want tuning, who better than to have some of the people who wrote the software come and teach fastlane some tips and tricks ON YOUR CAR.

my brother should be in town from Alabama, and theres about an 80% chance they will be tuning my car some more at this point, if he can help me out with some rides.

did i ramble too much? hehe.
did i mention how happy i am with my ride now? nothing but love for fastlane and i cant wait to get back on the dyno and squeeze some more ponies out

when i had the headers/highflows/catback installed by Josh at Fastlane, i came back once the predator was released to have a custom tune put in.

i spent about an hour.. maybe hour and a half on the dyno one day.
tuning for intake/headers is pretty quick compared to cams and forced induction.

i think i gained about 5hp and 7 tq at PEAK points over the 93 oct canned tune with this new custom tune,

but thats not even what was great, there were points on the graph that were NOT at peak points that increased by even more,
the whole curve of the graph was bumped up and overall accelleration was improved.

my biggest issue on the canned tunes was the ammount of knock retard that was causing tons of timing to be pulled, the car ran stronger and harder all the time, rather than that typical boggy feeling that comes and goes.

hows it feeling on the street mike?
logged it at all yet today?
i went and got on my new tune some this morning before it drizzled and it feels incredible. one thing im noticing is the shift firmness.. it feels better than with the MTCM in.

gonna have to get this throttle body figured out now :(
