Actually I would be interested in this myself. I have a Predator that I just bought and am running the stock tune that comes in the unit. I thought there were downloadable tunes you could get from Diablo? I've been on their site, but darn if I could find those tunes.

Sorry you guys their are no downloadable tunes for your Diablo. Only the program that is in the machine, but you can tweak some setting (ie...shift points fans off and on and a few others, but no major tuning can be accomplished with the Diablo Predator. Please read the booklet that come with the item and you will learn of it limitations. The items does have some small proformance values build in but not great. go and get a tune and you will be much happier and from what you guys are displaying I believe about 300-310 or so HP to the RW and a increase in TQ. and that will make your car strong.

There are in fact downloadable tunes available for the Predator tuner. RWTD does many custom tunes for the Predator. Fairly recently they lost a guy that was doing a lot of the GM tunes so turnaround time had suffered. I don't know if they're back up to speed or not.

source ?

you're incorrect.. and Tony is correct. I've downloaded a custom tume into my Predator... sent to me from RWTD James.

One can get downloadeable tunes for their Predator from Diablosport themselves... or any of their dealers.
