Default Diablo in-tune. Impressed..!

Just installed the Diablo in-tune canned tuned. What a difference!! It feels like a totally different car. I'm very pleased. Now I just need to get with diablew for a custom tune.

Some say the custom tune is even better....?

Yes, I can definitely get you hooked up with the custom tune.. and yes it's even better...

With the custom tune, you'll gain even better/quicker throttle response & acceleration, stronger/harder pull, smoother & quicker power delivery throughout the rpms, better tranny performance/shifting (for automatics), etc...

Addicted i will tell you this Diablew/06MonteSS has tuned 3 of my cars with his custom tunes. I was extremely impressed with how Lew worked with me and how he DOES SPEND TIME TWEAKING AND GETTING THE CUSTOM TUNE 100% PERFECT. Lew knows his stuff i would advise you DO NOT BE FOOLED BY CERTAIN TUNERS TELLING YOU THERE TUNES/HAND HELD TOOLS ARE BETTER THAN THE DIABLO HAND HELDS. I ASSURE YOU THE DIABLO HAND HELD TOOLS ARE TERRIFIC AND ARE NOT!!!!! LIMITED TO WHAT SOME CLAIM THEY CAN NOT DO. When Lew tunes your car YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. GOOGLE HIM AND YOU WILL SEE HE IS A TERRIFIC TUNER

I agree that Intune works great and it's about time the record was set straight. I did 93 octane tune on my 11 coupe with auto and will get his custom tune as soon as I het headers installed. Just have to make sure car is pointed straight before you stand on it as there isn't that lag and it lights up tires.

Question to 06MonteSS or anyone who has done the custom tune. Is it worth doing a custom tune on a completely stock LS2? Thanks in advance for your response

Vettes tend to do pretty good on mileage as is, we don't offer a specific mileage tune...but, any tune that's dialed in properly will optimize mileage as a result.

I have a 2013 stock coupe. I notice that some tuners require a 160 degree stat. Do your tunes(Intune) require one.

Default Hope this helps.

The tunes do not require a 160 degree stat so no need to change it.

However I have been running a 160 stat for a while now. Reprogramming the "2010" cooling fan percent's (%) to come on higher at a lower temp can lower your running temps some. Never go more than 25% on the first step; I have been told that if you do the fan once it kicks on will run continuous till you turn the car off also I never go more than 25% per step due to what was termed to me as "In-rush". Maybe has something to do with amps.

My Intune Example:
* 25% first step @192 degrees.
* 50% second @196 degrees.
* 75% third @199 degrees.
* 90% fourth @203 degrees (never go any higher than 90% or you may burn the fan connector up)
* Rest of steps= 90%

If you run the "stock tune" with a 160 degree stat your car will still run cooler when "cruising" on the highway (approx. 180 degrees) but in stop and go traffic it will still heat up to about OEM temps due to the OEM fan settings.

My car with a 160 stat heats up quick just about like stock to "180 degrees" summer or winter so no worries about an engine light coming on for taking to long to warm up. My car runs approx. 180 at cruise, a little hotter on hot summer days. In stop and go traffic it still runs cooler than OEM running my "intune" fan settings.

PS: I have found that once the temps get above "approx." 200/205 degrees at the track the et/mph start to fall off.

Default 14 z51 Diablo question

I have a 14 z51.i don't want to change intake or exhaust . I DO want to keep the car alive so to speak in sport mode .is a animal till third gear then it's tones down. It's a automatic and I would like to switch it from sport to touring and switch the parameters like if I go to economy go back to stock. Is that possible?
