That's normal after this mod.

Basically you have to go into the stock tune and turn off the rear o2 sensors. You can't just erase the code for it, it'll forever come back.

As far as your mpg, you don't really HAVE to but as you can see you don't bring out the best of the mods. Go get it tuned.

Since you already have the Diablo, contact this guy and get all of your issues resolved with a custom tune http://www.diablewtune.com/

If you don't have someone local , just go to his web site where he tells you how to use the diablo to do a log file which you email him

For I think $150, He will make the adjustments and email it back and you just load it like a normal " Custom" Diablo Tune

I have been emailing with him as I am going to do the same ,I loaded the 93 octane tune, TCM tune , just added a CAI and waiting on my headers to be delivered
