you gain about 20-25 hp/tq... the tunes remove the torque management, increase timing, adjust the PE/WOT fueling, etc etc..
you can gain even more over the preset canned diablo tunes by getting a custom predator tune made for your vehicle via email...

yeah, once you have one, you would install the diablo tune, put on some miles, then just do some data logs, logging specific parameters... and then you'd send the logs and copies of your tune files to a tuner and pay 'em to make you a custom tune for your car...
they would make you a custom tune file with all their tweaks/adjustments, and then email you that new custom tune file... then you import it to your predator, and then install it to your car...
piece-a-cake...

I have tuned many cars and the street tune works great. The important thing is use a wideband before adjusting any of the WOT parameters. On my Vette, I gained 20 rwhp and the throttle response is greatly improved. Where are you located?

A local shop charges $100 an hour to use there dyno. I used my predator to tune with. I got an additional 11 RWHP over what I already had. Cost me $100. The real reason I went in the first place was to check the timing on a 100 wet shot. The 11 additional rwhp was just a bonus.

timing and everything is already adjusted in their Diablo Tunes on the predator...
you can just install it and go...
but you'll be able to gain some more if you do data logs and get your fueling dialed in more, etc etc...

yes, it's rich from the factory, but the diablo tunes will lean it some for ya...
no, you do the datalogging and adjusting yourself... or pay to get a custom tune done... then you'd send the person doing the tuning your log files, and also copies of your original backup tune and a copy of the current diablo tune that you installed in your car... they will also tweak a bunch of other stuff besides just the fueling as well... I have done many of them...
info about logging and how to make the part-throttle fueling adjustment yourself can be found here:
