Diablo Tuning
Does anyone know how to get the most out of a Diablo Programmer? I have installed a Vararam ram air, Vararam upper intake, Kook headers 1 3/4 with x pipe and high flow cats, Borla stingers cat back. Recently dynoed at 433 HP can anyone help get more from the programmer I basicly installed preformance tune.....

I would sell the Diablo and go a custom tune but that is just me. The reason I say this because I have been there and done that. Had intake, headers, exhaust ect... Then wasted my money on a Diablo then took it to get tuned on a dyno and the cost did not add up. Almost 300 bucks for the Diablo and 200 plus bucks for the dyno time and that was a deal for 4 hours. A custom tune from a good program like EFI Live or HP tuners on a dyno from a good tuner will give you better gains than that hand held tuner.

Hunt down the Diablo Sport forum and get in touch with them. They will make you a custom tune based on your car and level of mods.

The local tune guys want $550 for the initial tune and they say that they can get me 40 more horses, heck that is almost what the diablo is getting me for a lot less...... just not sure if that is the best bang for the buck....thanks for info...
