Default Diablew Tune - very happy!

Being based in the UK getting the car tuned can be a challenge as there are not many people who have the necessary experience with LS engines and Corvettes. Another option was a mail order tune but I didn't want my car to be off the road for a few weeks when the PCM was sent away, I also didn't want to pay extortionate international shipping and import duties/taxes etc so I started to look at handheld tuners.

After plenty of research on this forum I ended up purchasing the Diablosport inTune with a custom tune from Lewis at Diablew Tune. The unit arrived within three days which is impressive in itself and I installed the canned performance tune on my stock '99 with A4 and straight away I noticed the difference particularly the mid-range torque. After 150 miles I did the data logging and sent the file to Lew for his custom tune which was returned within hours and installed. Wow! What a difference, the car has been transformed with much better throttle response, a smoother and more manageable tranny and the butt-dyno is putting a big grin on my face. The car is pulling much stronger now and I can't believe the difference the custom tune has made.

To top all that, the advice and customer service from Lew has been superb, he has sent me plenty of info and sorted out some minor issues I was having. If you are considering this approach for tuning your car give him a call - highly recommended.

Thanks Lew!

Yep just going to add mine endorsement to this too, I got one and again made a big difference..

just for info in case anyone else out there has a 99 car.. mine has an issue when you load tune it goes into limp mode and won't start...
spoke to tech support etc and if this happens you need to disconnect battery for few minutes, flash the system and it works fine.. I have had to do this for every update.. but doesn't happen on all cars..
